• We are so excited to add this new art class where students will learn the art of soap making, create different soaps to take home to use, sell or give as gifts.  Half of our time will be spent on soaps and the other half will be candle making, which is much more complex than we might think.  We'll start with hot candle making, then develop new soaps using cold press and then make melted was candles.  Students will decide on different designs, shapes, fragrances and colors.  All of their creations will be sent home with students at the end of the week.

  • Veterinary medicine is an incredibly popular science for young people. It is also pretty challenging, as the patients veterinarians treat cannot tell them what hurts or how they feel. In this camp, students will learn about hematology (study of blood), parasitology (common skin, fecal and blood parasites) and microbiology (microscopic organisms which cause diseases). They will do case studies on small and large animal diagnosis of diseases based on symptoms and winners of the case-study contests will win prizes.  They will also practice dissection, identifying muscle tissue, veins, arteries, bones and skin.  Lastly, they will practice suturing techniques.  Their drawings and case studies will be added to their notebook to use as a reference for their future studies.
