Our son has attended Edge on Science for the last three years. He loves the hands on nature of the sessions, and has made great friends while learning lots of cool stuff. -Josh Hale, dad
We have had our son go here two summers in a row now. It is really wonderful. – Vail Fucci, mom
Great camp! My two girls have enjoyed numerous camps here. Each of my children is very different and the camp gave enough individual attention to the kids that they both thrived and asked to go back. John, the director, is wonderful and clearly cares a lot about the kids experiences. – Celeste Peterson, mom
Our BIOmedical Academy is unique in that there is a heavy emphasis on participation, on doing instead of just listening. Think of this as a roll-up-your-sleeves experience whether interacting with a skeleton, assembling a full scale anatomical model, preparing slides for viewing under a microscope or well, you get the idea! Of course, there will be demonstrations, instructions and guidance.
As one parent put it, “These are the formative years. Now is the time to spark that interest.”
