This is an invaluable tool for learning human anatomy and physiology!" - Greg Landry "Hi Greg, I meant to write you before now........ We just wanted to let you know how much ___ enjoyed camp!! She is still telling us stories and sharing her new knowledge of anatomy. She has shared pictures via email with the new friends she made there and was thrilled to be among students who shared similar interests. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for her! And the ride with _______ worked out wonderfully!" "We
thank you for all of that but most of all for
giving us the reassurance of her being in a safe,
Christian environment. We will let everyone here know about your program
so you can be expecting a few more __________
students in the future! Thanks again and many
blessings." "Wow! c-sections, lungs, fetal
calves, cadavers, bull testicles, peeing in a cup, eating ice cream for
breakfast, brains, hearts, tracheas, blood typing, hematocrit, buffy
coats,
glucose tolerance tests, lung functions tests, learning the ins and outs
of getting through college and into med school, and lots of new friends
who love anatomy and physiology! What else could a girl ask for? I have
more focus and determination to get into med school now than ever before. I
could have stayed for a month." Greg, feel free to put this
on your web site. Parents need to read it. Parents, If your child is
thinking about a medical profession, they need to attend this camp. Greg
does a beautiful job of igniting a fire in the kids who are leaning toward
a medical or other science field and helping them to understand exactly
what they need to do and what their options are. ______________ loved his
approach to teaching. She called me every night excited to tell me about
what they did that day. She said she wants him to teach all of her high
school science classes. Greg, thank you! "...besides being an
engaging teacher, he also had a great sense of humor." "Greg, thank you so
much for allowing our daughter _________ this opportunity to experience
first hand what could hopefully be her career in the future. We both felt
a genuine kindren and care from you for the kids. We appreciate the
structure and guidance you offered. It allowed us to feel that our
daughter was safe with you. Thanks again. "I've gone to a
"pre-med" camp in Florida for two years. That was a lot of
boring lectures with no depth. This was the real thing and never a dull
moment.." "I loved this camp!
We did lots of incredible anatomy and physiology, but I also liked
listening to Mr. Landry talking to us about getting into med school and
other professional schools, explaining the various medical professions and
the education they required, and his Life 101 talk..." "Greg, I can't tell you how much __________ enjoyed your camp. They just can't say enough about it! They definitely desire to return to another or more camps. If we participate in the fall, it would probably have to be a weekend as __________ will be taking community college classes....unless they allow for excused absences. Just please keep us informed on what your thoughts and plans are." "Again, the week
was such a blessing and answer to prayer. And from our conversations
with _________, they experienced and learned so many
things .....about academics, rules, freedoms, honesty, friendship...just
to name a few. Thank you for providing such an atmosphere
for them to experience and learn and grow. Good
luck with the rest of this week at camp! I hope you are getting
some rest! Ha...is that possible on campus with all that youthful energy?????"
Greg Landry's 30% Camp Discounts End July 31st Greetings, I vividly remember the college semester when I took my first human anatomy and physiology class. While I've had an interest in the human body since I was eleven or twelve years-old, it was during this college semester that I first began to understand the incredible complexity of the human body. I actually remember devouring the chapters in my anatomy and physiology textbook, amazed at what I was reading. Today, I enjoy seeing that "light" come on in the minds of my university and homeschool students. Just a few weeks ago, the mother of one of anatomy and physiology students told me: "John (not his real name) didn't want to take this class - he had no interest in studying the body. After three weeks in your class he's talking about the possibility of a career in medicine or some field related to the body. He loves your class, can't wait for it every week, and always comes away with excitement, anxious to tell us about what he's learned." The Lord has given me a passion for teaching students about the human body and how this complex creation of His testifies to His glory. For example, I love teaching about the pancreas, the microscopic precision with which it operates, and how many small steps have to go just right every second of every day just for us to live.. not to mention the kidneys, heart, brain, liver, and a "simple" movement of the finger, driven by the "simple" contraction of a muscle. My residential camps are geared toward college-bound students but are appropriate for all high school age students who are interested in the human body. This "Human Anatomy and Physiology" is an experience that few high school age students have access to at this level. These camps are appropriate for all rising 9th - 12th grade students, but is especially geared toward students interested in careers such as medicine, exercise science, biology, chemistry, dentistry, athletic training, nutrition, health promotion, nursing, physical therapy, physician's assistant, occupational therapy, etc. Also, it's been my experience that the information and experience offered at this camp often sparks an interest in students that was previously undiscovered.

Camp Discounts End July 31st The purpose of these camps is to enable rising 9th - 12th grade students to better understand human anatomy and physiology by engaging in a variety of unique, in-depth, hands-on experiments, labs, and assessments.. and have fun doing it! Our camps typically fill quickly with students from throughout the country. This is one of very few camps of its kind in the U.S. The camp fee covers class / lab time, the anatomy and physiology camp manual, all lab materials, supplemental materials, etc. It also covers room and board ( meals). Everything is covered - there are no additional costs. This camp provides a learning environment that gives students a tremendous academic advantage, it’s lots of fun, and it enables students to meet other students with similar interests. Questions?

The Anatomy & Physiology Camps Include: 
To aid the understanding the
kidneys and entire urinary system, we’ll do a ten parameter
urinalysis on each student with variations. We’ll dissect a variety of cow and sheep organs (similar to human):
eye, brain, kidney, pancreas, lung, heart, trachea, stomach, pregnant
uterus, muscle, and bladder.
Numerous hands-on anatomy and physiology labs using
human cadavers (a rare opportunity for high school and most college
students). This is an invaluable tool for learning human anatomy and
physiology! We'll determine each student's blood
type using a process that helps students understand antigens, antibodies,
agglutination, blood types, and the blood typing process. We'll determine each student's
hematocrit to help them understand the blood and blood cells. We'll also
examine the buffy coat and blood cells stereoscopically and
microscopically. Students will eat ice cream for
breakfast to produce a "glucose load challenge" to help them
understand the pancreas, glucose absorption, diabetes, normal and abnormal
glucose response curves, and the production and function of insulin. Students will do metabolic
assessments / body compositions to help them understand metabolic processes. Using stereoscopes and microscopes, we’ll look at the microscopic aspects of the human
body. We’ll do interesting reflex experiments to help understand the nervous
system. We’ll do vision experiments to better understand the eyes. To better understand genetics and heredity, we’ll do experiments using
genetic traits. Students will learn how to determine blood pressure, heart rate, and
respiratory rate to aid in understanding the cardiovascular system. To help understand the respiratory system, we’ll do pulmonary (lung)
function tests on each student. We'll discuss; what they need to
know about high school academics and successfully handling college
academics, getting into medical school (or the professional school they're
interested in), what their options are in various medical professions, the
school time required, and how to relate to their professors and peers.
Camp Director The Anatomy and Physiology Camp is directed / taught by Greg Landry – master’s degree in physiology from Louisiana State University (LSU). He is director of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab and teaches Human Anatomy and Physiology Lab to pre-professional (pre-med, biology, chemistry, exercise science, pre-physical therapy, pre-dental, etc.) students at Appalachian State University. Greg, his wife, and their two daughters live in Boone, NC. Their oldest daughter is a sophomore on athletic (swimming) and academic scholarships at a private college in Tennessee. Their youngest daughter, also a competitive swimmer, is in 11th grade. ______________________________ "My children have taken science classes from Greg Landry for the past 4 years. Greg is a gifted teacher with a unique ability to challenge his students while also increasing their confidence." "He is rigorous in the classic sense, he values writing skills, cultivates time management and organizational habits, and helps each student develop and adhere to long range plans. While his students are learning these life skills, they are also becoming scientists.." Cinda Payne-Smith __________ "Greg Landry taught my son Anatomy and Physiology. He is an excellent teacher. He sees his students as individuals. He sets a standard and calls them out to that place. I think this is very important for young adults. He knows his subject and never limits himself to a textbook. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Greg for any class he offered." Dr and Mrs Matt Brown __________ "Mr. Landry, I enjoyed camp so much! This was my first overnight camp that I attended. At first it was a little hard because I didn't know anyone, but that soon changed after your creative ice-breaker game. I miss you guys alot and I'm looking forward to the possibility of having and advanced camp soon. You did an excellent job preparing the manual and all of the activities. June 2008 Camp Attendee The
