SUPER SATURDAY CAMPS Animal Dissection Detectives! (For Ages 6-12) How are animal bodies the same or different from human bodies? From squids to sharks, rats to birds, and giant grasshoppers to scorpions and more, students will pair off to perform dissections to gain a better understanding of animal anatomy and body systems. How do blood vessels work? Do their skin, muscles, and incredible organs compare to each other? And as we safely investigate how each species from small to large, plays an important role on our planet we will finish by interacting with a surprise live animal. You will not find this amazing science class turned hands-on science lab anywhere else! Course:

Aqua T’ai Chi (Ages 18 & Older)

Aquatic Fitness (Ages 18 & Older)

Aqua T’ai Chi awakens your sensations as you become conscience of your body in the water. It boosts your spirit and energy while working your internal organs and lymphatic system through the hydrostatic pressure of the water. Aqua T’ai Chi will also help you burn calories and strengthen your muscles as you exercise against the resistance of the water. This class will allow you to focus on your own T’ai Chi movements in a chest-deep water pool without worrying about others.

The water’s unique properties provide an environment for people of all abilities. Its buoyancy creates a reduced impact exercise alternative that is easy on the joints, while the water’s resistance challenges the muscles. “Aquatic Fitness” is a well-balanced workout that improves overall physical fitness through aerobic training that improves muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

ART Charcoal Portraits and Caricature Drawings Learn to draw life-like charcoal portraits or action packed humorous caricatures of your family and friends with former El Paso Times editorial cartoonist, Nacho Garcia. Charcoal is a popular media that allows you to draw very professional-looking black-white photo-like images. A caricature is defined as “a picture, description, or imitation of a person or thing in which certain striking characteristics are exaggerated in order to create a comic or grotesque effect”. In other words, you will learn how to draw a caricature that looks like the person, is exaggerated to varying degrees, and most importantly, says something about the person you are drawing. Students need to bring to class a Newsprint 11” x 14” pad and a charcoal and pastel set. Course:
