The
Health Adventure began as a teaching center in 1968 and has
continued its emphasis on experiential education to this day.
Professional science and health educators teach every one of our classes! Our educators
come from a variety of backgrounds: microbiology, early childhood,
professional music - but they all share the philosophy of teaching
as a performance art. Check our Events Calendar for more information on times, offerings and upcoming events.
AFTERNOON EXPLORERS: presented by Charlotte Street Computers Afternoon Explorers is a program offered by The Health Adventure to
groups that work with children who are considered financially,
academically, or emotionally “at risk”. These are children whose
parents or caregivers may be unable to expose them to enrichment
activities such as our museum offers. READ MORE for more information or to be a part of the Afternoon Explorers program.
