Join us for a winter camp where curious minds will explore amazing STEM adventures, from examining animal anatomy to getting hands-on with DNA, neuroscience, and medicine! Campers will dive into interactive science projects, spark new ideas, and make lasting friendships along the way. Start the new year with a burst of curiosity, creativity, and snow much fun!
Mini Vet | For ages 5-7
Little Vet is a fun educational camp that will introduce your young doctor to medical tools and terms as well as the wonderful world of science. Little Vets will dissect owl pellets, learn how to use a microscope, count, and compare animal bones with those in their bodies. Little Vets will learn a plethora of age-appropriate medical information that focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) education. You will be amazed at how much your little vet will do!
Junior Vet | For ages 8-10
Junior Vet is a fun and educational hands-on veterinary camp that will teach the scientific process. Junior Vets will be fully engaged in this week-long introduction to veterinary medicine. They will compare the frog muscles with those of human muscles; they will use rulers to measure and classify bones; use dissection tools for precise investigations of organs; and operate microscopes to learn about major body systems. Daily dissections will assist in teaching your future doctors similarities and differences between humans and other species.
DNA Discoveries | For ages 5-7
Did you know that DNA stores every single detail about you, like your eye color? Learn more about DNA through this exciting hands-on camp. Campers will be engaged through different hands-on activities such as designing 3D DNA models and performing DNA extraction on fruit!
Camp Neuron | For ages 8-10
Did you know that the average adult brain weighs approximately 3 pounds? Or that there are over 100 million neurons in your brain? In Camp Neuron, discover the exciting world of the brain! Camp Neuron offers an opportunity for immersion into neuroscience. Campers will examine a real human brain, dissect a sheep brain, explore topics such as brain and spinal cord anatomy, sensations, and perceptions, learning and memory, create an edible neuron, and lots more in this incredible camp for the aspiring neuroscientist out there!
Mini Medical School | For ages 11-13
Do you enjoy science? Have you ever considered a career in health or medicine? This introductory Mini Medical School I session allows campers to learn lifesaving techniques, including first aid and CPR. They will also learn about the anatomy & physiology of the amazing human body, use medical instruments, view real human organs, and experience the hands-on dissections of small animal organs. Mini Med I explores the respiratory system, urinary system, and much more. This is your opportunity to determine if a career in medicine is right for you!
