✨Who knew pharmacy could be so MAGICAL? These students did!✨

Our first "Experience the Magic of Pharmacy" camp was packed with adventure, discovery, and hands-on learning! 🧪🏰

Students stepped into the role of pharmacists as they:
🦁 Compounded a custom treat-based medication for Simba at the Kilimanjaro Safari Pharmacy
🐍 Responded to a patient emergency at the STEPS Center after a venomous snake bite
🌱 Explored how natural ingredients can be used to create medications through lessons inspired by Living with the Land

And that's only the beginning! 👀 There’s so much more magic to uncover, but you'll have to stay tuned to see everything our campers experienced.

🎉 Good news! We still have SIX spots available for our next camp on Friday, June 26!

📩 Message us today to register before they're gone!
