The camp uniquely combines detailed organism dissection with active, Olympic-style games to provide a comprehensive and engaging understanding of anatomy and kinesiology.
Campers engage in hands-on dissection of various organisms, including squid, shrimp, clams, frogs, mice, chickens, sheep, and pigs, to gain a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology. They will explore organs such as hearts, brains, and eyes, learning about their specific functions and how they contribute to the overall organism. The camp also integrates kinesiology concepts, where students apply their anatomical knowledge in active, Olympic-style games. Through running and jumping activities, campers will measure and feel their body parts in action, connecting theoretical knowledge to practical experience. By the end of the week, participants will be proficient in identifying critical organs and their functions, and will even be prepared to perform a mock medical exam. The program aims to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and a comprehensive understanding of biological structures and movement.
A typical day involves hands-on dissection in the morning, followed by activities that apply anatomical and kinesiology knowledge in Olympic-style games in the afternoon.
This camp is ideal for middle school students who are curious about how bodies work, enjoy hands-on scientific exploration, and are interested in biology and physical activity.
