Think you're ready for a career in healthcare? Attend Mini Medical School, and see if you have what it takes! As an intern here, you'll learn about DNA, x-rays, human anatomy, personal health and more – all while having fun, taking cool field trips and even performing a mock surgery. If these dates don't fit your schedule try Mini Medical School: Session B, June 18-22. You'll meet and hear from experts in the healthcare fields – including doctors, dentists, researchers, EMTs and other professionals. So put on some scrubs and let's see what you're made of! This is one of our most popular camps, so early registration is strongly recommended. Open to students ages 11-15.
This camp is currently full, but we strongly encourage you to add your child to the waiting list if you are interested in attending. It is very common for spaces to become available before camp begins. To be added to the wait list please click on the "Register Now" button to the right.
