Ages 5-12

Explore the world of medical science, health and the human body.  In this version of Medics Camp we will explore the nervous system, how the brain works, mental health, pet health and veterinary medicine.  We will take a journey beginning in your mouth where you smell and taste your food and we will learn about teeth and different specialties in dentistry.  Then we'll follow the food along it's journey as it goes through your digestive system. We'll even be making poop! (not real of course) We will learn how our eyes and ears work and use our doctor skills to test our senses, learn sign language and create our names using the braille alphabet.  Skin is the largest organ in the body.  We will learn about it and the sense of touch, types of anesthesia and how it works and then practice our surgical skills. Friday is first aid day where basic skills are learned and different from the ones learned in Discover.

Ages 6-12

​NEW!  Medics will journey into a different area of medicine where doctors and scientists specialize in identifying and analyzing microscopic clues to help solve crimes. Think of them as doctor detectives!

Junior Medics will explore forensic pathology, odontology (teeth), entomology (insects), anthropology (bones) as well as DNA, blood basics and dactyloscopy (fingerprints).  Throughout the week, Medics will be presented with team challenges where they will use their problem solving skills and attention to detail to successfully complete each activity.  At the end of the week they use all of their skills to solve a robbery.  There may even be a few escape room type challenges!

​

Younger age groups will be exploring bugs, nature, genetic traits in animals and humans, fingerprints, footprints, scat and then use their observational skills to solve crimes of theft.  

Note:   Content and activities have been customized for each age group and are not intended to be scary. Every effort has been made to present the information and activities in age appropriate, kid friendly ways but if your child is particularly sensitive, our Discover and Explore camps would be a better fit.

NEW!  Introducing FALCON- Our First Aid Leadership Camp Onsite and the newest edition to Medics Camp.  Available to youth ages 13 & 14.  The first aid component of FALCON will cover all of the topics found in a traditional standard first aid and CPR course as well as psychological first aid, a topic that's particularly relevant in today's environment. 

The leadership portion will focus on building self esteem and confidence, improving communication skills, inspiring creativity, collaborating with others to achieve a shared goal and engendering trust and compassion for others.  We believe these are qualities of a great leader regardless of their career path.

If your teen is interested in learning first aid, enjoys the field of medical science and wants to take their leadership skills to the next level, FALCON by Medics Camp is the elite leadership camp for youth who want to be prepared for the future. 

FALCON is lead by our founder, Amanda Farris and only 8-10 youth per week will be allowed to register so that more individualized attention can be given.  

​

Red Cross certification in Standard First Aid and CPR at the end of the week is optional and at no additional charge provided all conditions required for certification have been met.  ​​
