If you invite a six- to eight-year old kid to a human anatomy and physiology class, you’re likely to hear, “Huh?”  But ask them, instead, if they’re interesting in guts, brains, the weird little doohickies in their ears, and they’re likely to be intrigued.   They’ll be more than intrigued in our “Icky, Sticky Human Body” camp.  They’ll laugh.  They’ll dive into two dozen hands-on experiments and games.  And, they won’t even notice that they’re learning a ton.

What’s On the Menu?

Besides the experiments and games, every day we’ll also discover weird body facts, read some cool books, watch some short videos and giggle through “body parts” jokes.
