Medics Camp-Explore Theme L3

Explore Med: Scrub in and get ready to explore the fascinating world of medicine from head to toe! In Explore Med, campers dive into the inner workings of the body and learn how specialized healthcare professionals keep us healthy. From the brain and nervous system to the eyes, ears, and nose, to the largest organ in the body, skin, the digestive system, kidneys, pet health, veterinary medicine, and first aid, Medics investigate vital medical science topics through fun, hands-on, skill-based activities as part of our STEM-accredited program, ranked in the top 10% worldwide by STEM.org in 2025.

Campers explore how the brain processes information, test their hearing, move through optometry stations, challenge their taste buds, and learn how doctors use touch, sight, and hearing to diagnose patients. They step into the roles of dermatologists, anesthesiologists, and surgeons, perform mock surgical procedures, and even become veterinarians as they examine and care for pretend pets. They also observe real sheep brain and kidney specimens, deepening their understanding of anatomy and organ function, all while developing essential STEM and first aid skills.

Each day brings exciting discoveries, from identifying parts of the brain and understanding their functions to hands-on first aid, pet health challenges, and creative ways to investigate digestion and the senses. Through interactive, real-world learning, Explore Med campers build confidence, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of health, medicine, and the amazing capabilities of the human body.

Some of the medical professionals campers learn about include:

Neurologists, Optometrists, Audiologists, ENTs, Dermatologists, Gastroenterologists, Anesthesiologists, Surgeons, Veterinarians, and more!
