Grossology – Nature Is Downright Disgusting
Get ready for a week of gut-churning, eye-watering, absolutely vile fun! We’re not just learning about nature; we’re getting up close and personal with its nastiest, ooziest, most horrifying secrets. We will use our hands to explore bird barf, slip through the digestive system, and even eat snacks shaped like poop! If you’ve got the stomach lining of a vulture and a love for the absolutely bizarre, disgusting, and strangely educational, then this camp is calling your name!
*Warning to Parents: The camp teacher is officially washing their hands of any gross language, questionable scientific facts, or sudden loss of appetite that your camper brings home. You’ve been warned.

Children must be fully toilet-trained to enroll. This is a half-day camp from 9am-12pm. Please note, there will be no camp on Friday, June 19.
