Description
Delivered in partnership with Medics Camp, a stem.org-accredited organization. Are you a curious kid who loves science, exploration and hands-on learning? Medics Camp is where future doctors and healthcare professionals begin their journey! Get ready to experiment, diagnose and think like a real doctor as you explore how the human body works and how healthcare professionals keep it healthy through engaging, hands-on activities. As a young medic, you’ll experience what it’s like to be a neurologist, learning about the brain, nervous system and reflexes, and observe a sheep brain specimen. You’ll explore the anatomy of the eye and ear as an optometrist and audiologist, performing exams with real medical equipment and investigating common medical conditions through interactive activities. Then, it’s time to scrub in for surgery on a banana, learning about skin, anesthesiology and basic surgical techniques. You’ll also explore the digestive system through smell and taste experiments, and the week wraps up with veterinary medicine stations and hands-on first aid skills. Note: The camp day is 8:30am to 4:30pm. Camp programming runs from 9am to 4pm. Before & After Care is available for campers who require care before the camp day begins, from 7:30-8:30am, and after the camp day has ended, from 4:30-6pm. Separate registration is required.
