The purpose of these camps is to enable 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! There are no prerequisites for attending this camp.

Anatomy and Physiology Camp is appropriate for all high school age students but is especially geared toward students interested in careers such as medicine, physical therapy, physician's assistant, dentistry, nursing, biology, exercise science, sports medicine, chiropractic, athletic training, nutrition, forensics, etc

Our camps typically fill quickly with students from throughout the country. This is one of very few camps of its kind in the world.

The camp fee covers class / lab time, the anatomy and physiology camp manual and t-shirt, all lab materials, supplemental materials, etc. It also covers lodging and 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.

Free Shuttle Bus From Charlotte, NC Airport to Camp for Week-Long Camps

Our Anatomy and Physiology Camp is located in the Appalachian Mountains of Boone, North Carolina. We offer a free airport shuttle bus for students flying into Charlotte, NC (two hours from Boone). The shuttle leaves the airport at 4:30 pm on Sunday to transport students to camp and returns to the airport by 1:30 pm on Saturday.

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.



• 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.
