Camden Farms Student Society​​

​​

The Camden Farms Student Society, a group of 3rd year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students, is tasked with organising a variety of charity and community events during their year on the Camden campus, including the annual vet student nude charity calendar.

​​

Why the nude aspect?
The tradition began long before this cohort arrived, and we are proud to carry it on. The concept does a few important things:

• Most importantly, it represents stepping outside your comfort zone, a message that ties directly into speaking up about mental wellbeing, a critical issue in both veterinary and rural communities with vets and farmers significantly more likely to die by suicide than other professions

  • On average, one vet dies by suicide every 12 weeks and one farmer dies by suicide every 10 days​

• The nudity also draws attention; more eyes on the calendar means more sales and more funds raised for this important charity

• Lastly, participating in the calendar shoots is a bit of fun for a good cause close to our hearts, in an intense and demanding degree

​

​​This year we are proud to announce that our charity of choice is Rural Aid. Rural Aid is a national charity that provides financial, wellbeing, and fodder support to rural and farming communities experiencing difficult times, particularly during natural disasters. ALL our profits will be donated to Rural Aid.

 

Our cohort is honoured to be fundraising for such a worthy cause in a positive, fun environment and we hope you can support us and Rural Aid by purchasing a 2027 calendar!
