medicine, science, and the importance of health in an entertaining, exciting, and fun way. In this camp, the student doctor will explore and better understand what happens when the body does not work, as it is designed to. Ever wondered how glasses and contacts correct vision? Do you know how the sun affects the skin, freckles, sunburn, and wrinkles? Learn about this and many more topics through interactive, hands on demonstrations, crafts, and games. Students will learn about common diseases and how they affect the body and the importance of taking care of themselves. This class is taught by Little Medical School.
Little Medical School®: Extreme Medical School New! Grades 7-9 / Week 7 / $325 We offer a one-of-a-kind learning experience for middle school and high school aged students. This hands-on, in depth experience puts the student in the role of the physician complete with a white coat and real stethoscope. Through interactive and creative demonstrations, crafts, and projects, students see how the body works and what goes wrong with disease states. Our “student doctors” not only learn how to use a stethoscope, but also they learn what they are hearing when they listen to the heart beat. We discuss why murmurs sound the way they do and that they get their first looks at EKG’s. As “student surgeons” they learn how to sew like a real surgeon, tie knots, and do a hernia repair with mesh! In the blood section, they make a model of normal blood, and then see first-hand what goes wrong with leukemia and sickle cell disease. This is just a sampling of the many exciting topics we explore. At the end of the weeklong course students will gain an appreciation and understanding for the human body, and will learn what it takes to prepare for being a pre-med major in college including learning important tips to be a successful candidate for medical school. This class is taught by Little Medical School.

Amending Registrations You are not able to go back and remove classes online after you have submitted your registration. You can, however, add classes. Should you need to make any changes to a session for which you have already registered, please contact us. If a parent wishes to switch their child from one class to another (rather than withdraw the child), they may do so at any time without penalty if there is room in the new course. Amendments to a student’s registration will not be made without direct parental consent. Students are not permitted to submit changes to their own registrations.
Discounts Early Bird Discount: Save $25 if you register before March 10, 2019 Family Discount: If two or more children are enrolled for fullday programs for at least five weeks, a family discount of $150 will be refunded. This excludes Credit Courses.
