Summer Science Camp

Take an action-packed trip through the wonders of the body.

Body Trek is a popular one or two-week journey of exploration for students entering grades 5-8. The camp includes real hands-on dissections, special guest visits, and excursions to exciting places such as a hospital operating room. Additionally, students learn how to engage in effective team efforts and cultivate life-long leadership qualities.

Body Trek includes:

• Current live videos featuring the systems of the human body
• Dissection of animal specimens, such as a heart or lung
• Guest speakers who may include doctors, nurses, surgeons or other health professionals
• Special trips to a hospital setting or large museum where students experience an operating room
• Practicing suturing, scrubbing in for surgery, observing surgery via a closed-circuit television
• Small group activities that bring the content to life and ensure fun camp dynamics
• Students are grouped by age level
• Daily photo collages and a picture CD on the final day
• A chance to grow into a future leadership position within a future camp
• Closing ceremony for parents and friends featuring the students in the “Odyssey of the Body”
