Slimy salamanders, slugs, bugs and roly-polies are all found as campers explore their world through hands-on field biology. It’s the kind of learning that kids thrive in — hands-on, in motion, and at a child’s pace. Gross Out Day Camp, a program of Fresh Air Family, is an award-winning science camp. As we say — “It’s science, but please don’t tell the kids.”
Campers explore in a safe environment as science is delivered through the icky, sticky elements of nature. We’ll be in the woods, in the creek, performing science experiments and having fun. Camps are small — only 20 per camp — for the perfect class size. No screens allowed! Just the biggest playground (and classroom): the Great Outdoors.
Gross Out Day Camp serves campers entering first through fourth grade and counselors-in-training entering fifth through seventh grade.
Our goal is to teach critical thinking, and science provides a structure for it. Camps run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. extended day option available. Financial aid is available upon request. Learn more at www.GrossOutCamp.org.
Gross Out Camp guarantees tired, dirty children.
