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.
GIRLSCOUTS:
The Health Adventure offers a variety of workshops for both Girl Scouts and Brownies. Click here for offerings throughout the 2008-09 school year and registration information.

HOMESCHOOL HAPPENINGS:
The Health Adventure has long been regarded as a popular field trip
destination for school groups around the region. Educators wanted to
provide that same interactive and educational experience to students
who are home-schooled, resulting in the museum's popular Homeschool
Happenings program, which offers innovative educational programs to
students aged 3 - 12. For more information>>
