Summary Profile
About Medics Camp
The coolest new (virtual) summer camp where kids are doctors for a week! This STEM camp will have kids exploring the world of medicine with hands-on, age appropriate activities, experiments, crafts & games while having fun and meeting new friends from across Canada. Last summer we took our traditional Medics Camp programming and turned it into an interactive virtual medical clinic. Material kits and instructor led zoom sessions bring the "camp at home" experience to life. Choose from our different medical themed camp weeks, each one a unique experience. If your child is interested in being a doctor or healthcare professional they won't want to miss Medics Camp 2021!
COVID-19 Response
Our STEM program is all about the science and our virtual Medics Camp last summer was a huge success with almost 200 kids attending from all over Canada, the US, Mexico and even Cuba! The incredibly positive feedback we received from parents and kids who attended virtual Medics Camp in 2020 has confirmed that our virtual program delivers a fun and engaging camp experience to kids everywhere, not just those locally. The power of technology removes geographical barriers to our Medics Camp program and unites kids who share a common interest through a shared experience. We are excited to be offering 7 different virtual medical theme weeks. Register for one week or all of them and each week will be a completely different experience. We are proud to announce the addition of our new virtual Forensic Medicine theme week for 2021 and it's only available for our Junior Medics. If your child is interested in the medical field and loves to learn, they won't want to miss Virtual Medics Camp 2021!

Insider Reviews & Perspectives
The Our Kids review of Medics Camp
There is truly a camp to meet every interest, and Medics Camp is a great example of that. It was founded by Amanda Farris, who brings a wealth of experience, including some gained at the venerable Johns Hopkins University and medical school in Baltimore, Maryland. Play and roleplay are important aspects of the sessions, with kids diving in to their new identities as practicing physicians. There’s a strong curricular element as well, providing kids with a foundation in the medical arts, sciences, first aid, healthy living, and personal safety. Staff are vibrant and attuned to creating an interactive inspiring atmosphere. Before and after care is offered at all three locations, something which families understandably appreciate.

Accommodations

There is no requirement for campers to bring their own technology for onsite camps. Medics who bring technology to camp are solely responsible for it.
Rentals & Services
Offers children's birthday party packages: Yes
New for 2021 The virtual Mobile Medics Birthday Party package for kids ages 5-12. The birthday doctor and their medical team of friends will enjoy 60-75 minutes of fun at the instructor led mobile medics Zoom clinic. Each doctor will receive a material kit containing everything they'll need for the hands-on activities. Many of the kit items will continue to be enjoyed long after the event by your future doctors and healthcare professionals so host provided loot bags are not usually necessary. (We've got you covered!) Some parents may choose to continue the party with their guests after the Mobile Medics instructor session ends. In most cases we can accommodate requests for an extended Zoom session by making you the co-host at no additional charge. We want your child's virtual birthday party with us to be fun, engaging, unique and memorable so if you have any special requests for customization, just let us know. Details and pricing will be available on our website as of January 1st. Birthday parties require booking at least 2 weeks prior to the requested date.

What's New
Director's Message
Amanda Farris, Owner, Founder and Director of Medics Camp
BSci. MBAMedics Camp 2020 didn't happen quite the way we had planned, but sometimes good things can still happen even during a pandemic. Virtual camps and workshops were actually something I had planned on adding to our service offering in 2025. So, while I was disappointed that our onsite camps didn't happen in 2020, I embraced the challenge of pivoting and moving our unique camp experience to a virtual platform a little earlier than planned.
A huge thanks to all of the families that support Medics Camp and continue to share in our virtual journey. The feedback from our virtual camps last summer was amazing! We received the most kind and thoughtful emails from parents telling us how much their child was enjoying camp. Some parents even called to tell us they learned a few things at Medics Camp when they were supposed to be working from home (don't worry, we won't tell your boss!)
Medics Camp 2021- The Medics Camp team and myself are excited to offer our virtual programs again this summer and we even have a new one for the ages 9-13 called "Forensic Medicine".
We are committed to providing each and every child an amazing camp experience that starts from the time they enter the virtual Medics Camp zoom doors until we say goodbye to them at the end of each camp day. If your child is interested in the medical field they won't want to miss our upcoming season and the opportunity to be a doctor for a week.

Why Camp is so Important for Kids
Wondering whether sending your child to a camp this year is a good idea? I encourage you to read this infographic on the 11 Benefits of Summer Camp by Ryan at iDTech.com. https://www.idtech.com/blog/benefits-of-summer-camp-infographic
Great camps regardless of whether they are a daycamp, overnight camp or virtual, they are more than just childcare. They are an experience your child can share with like minded peers. A place to grow, have fun and meet new friends. They aren't school but learning happens without kids even realizing it and kids need camp this year more than ever!
Whatever your plans are for summer 2021, find a great camp for your child(ren) to attend. The benefits go far beyond the moment and they will remember their camp experience for years to come.
