Did you know that if you unfolded your intestines they are the same length as two cars? Or that your heart pumps more than a gallon of blood in one minute? Or that your stomach uses juices to mush up your food? The science of the human body can be gross, but it is always fascinating! Step into the role of a scientist and learn about all the systems that make you, you. As junior biologists, pathologists, and doctors you will investigate what makes your body work. Wearing your lab coats you will test your senses at the sense-station, record your findings in your science notebooks, create a life-sized drawing of yourself to map out your nervous system, extract fruit DNA, experiment with Glo-germ and a black light to discover why washing your hands is important, and so much more in this interactive, hands-on camp. 

Students will take home projects created during the week, and use their new science observation skills to continue their life science explorations at home!

Notice

Please read:  Before bringing your child to camp, please read through this list. Following these steps will help us assure that your child is safe, healthy, and has tons of fun at camp!
  • Always send your child with a snack and a drink. Food = mood, and we want campers to be at their best! No food is available on campus.
  • Please be sure you have notified us of any behavioral or medical conditions we need to be aware of to help your child have a successful week at camp.
  • Campers need to be signed out every day by the individuals who have been approved by parent or legal guardian to pick them up, and are required to show a photo ID every day.
  • In order to protect the privacy and security of all minors on our campus, photographs by parents and family members in class are not permitted. Instructors and Extension staff often take photos and may share them with campers’ families via email once camp has concluded. Campers’ name tags will be removed for these photographs to respect and protect privacy. Please contact the Extension office directly if you do not want your child to be included in any photographs taken by our staff.
  • Cell phones or hand held games may not be used during camps.
  • Campers are not permitted to use the vending machines during camps.
