EXPLORE!

About Explore Theme

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 senses, skin, digestive system, and kidneys, campers investigate vital medical science topics through hands-on, skill-based activities all as part of a STEM.org accredited program.

Campers explore how the brain processes information, test their vision, challenge their taste buds, and practice examining their sense of touch, smell, and hearing. They step into the roles of dermatologists and surgeons, perform mock surgical procedures, and even become veterinarians as they examine and care for pretend pets. They also get to 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 the 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

Dermatologists

Surgeons

Veterinarians

Ages: 5-12 | Levels: 1-3

Who Is This Camp For?

Level 2 – Ages 6-8

Mini Medics are kids who are intellectually curious and eager to learn about science, medicine and the human body through experiments, activities, crafts and games.

Level 3 – Ages 9-12

Junior Medics (level 3) are bright, focused and interested in medical science and how the human body works. They are mature and ready for the challenge of more advanced experiments and activities.

Teens – Ages 13-17

FALCONs are teens who are interested in learning the Red Cross standard first aid and CPR course for personal growth or for certification. They are mature, responsible, community minded and interested in gaining leadership skills and tools that will make them better leaders at home, at school and in their community.

Types of doctors kids learn about include: Physicians, Dentists, Orthodontists, Pediatricians, Obstetrician, Cardiologists, Pulmonologists, Orthopedists, Podiatrists, Radiologists, Virologists, Physiatrists and more...

Medics Camp’s certified STEM.org programs are designed to be age-specific and learner-driven, offering unique daily activities for every program and age group. As kids progress through the age groups, the topics and challenges grow more complex, and each program theme introduces new medical professionals and concepts.

For example, an 8-year-old in the Level 2 Mini Medics group (ages 7-9) can join any or all three themes: Discover, Explore, and Forensic Med and each day will offer fresh experiences tailored to their age. The following summer, they can advance to the Junior Medics group (ages 9-12), tackling higher-level challenges in the same themes, with all-new content suited for older campers.

There’s no required order or prerequisites—each theme is self-contained and age-appropriate. Campers are always grouped with peers their age, working in small teams of 4 to 6, and guided by dedicated instructors and counselors in their own camp rooms.

At Medics Camp, your child will enjoy a personalized, exciting journey that inspires curiosity and learning!

Ages: 5-12 | Levels: 1-3
