Ever wonder what's actually inside your body? Now's your chance to find out.
This summer, for the very first time, the Canadian Museum of Health Care invites young explorers aged 5–12 to roll up their sleeves and dive into the science and history of the human body at Health Adventures Camp.
Over five action-packed days, campers will make real (fake) snot, examine bones and x-rays, peer through microscopes, mix their own herbal remedies, treat patients at our Teddy Bear Hospital, and uncover the surprising history of how doctors and healers have cared for people throughout history.
Every day brings a new theme, new discoveries, and new hands-on activities inside the museum's galleries and collections. Whether your child is a future doctor, scientist, or just wildly curious, Health Adventures Camp is the week they'll be talking about all year.
Choose your session at registration: morning ages 5-8 (9:00 am–12:00 pm) or afternoon ages 9-12 (2:00–5:00 pm). Each session runs the same daily programming with its own dedicated group of campers. Simply pick the time that works best for your family and join us every day that week.
Morning sessions: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm Ages 5-8
Afternoon sessions: 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm Ages 9-12
Cost: $150/child
Location: Canadian Museum of Health Care, 32 George Street
Campers should be comfortable in a group setting without a parent present.
