We believe that a child’s natural habitat is the great outdoors.
At Gross Out Camp, that’s exactly where you’ll find us. We’re in the woods, in the creek, in the mud, turning over rocks, looking for bugs, seeking salamanders and catching fish — because actually experiencing the world that lies just beyond our doorstep is far more interesting than watching it online.
Gross Out Camp is an award-winning science camp that provides a safe opportunity for kids to learn the way they are meant to learn, in motion and hands-on.
Come explore with us in McCallum Park this summer. Join us as we scramble for salamanders, hike to the water-fall, catch bugs, play educational field games and do so much more!
Plus, Dr. Matt’s amazing animal show will return this year, giving campers the chance to see and hold reptiles, turtles, bunnies, and other animals.
Held outdoors at McCallum Park in Vestavia, Gross Out Camp is for children entering grades 1-4. For older kids, entering grades 5-7, we offer the Counselor-in-Train ing (C.I.T.) program. C.I.T.’s participate in the same activities as the campers, while learning leadership by assisting the campers with lessons, games, and other camp needs.
Gross Out Camp starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 5pm. Early drop-off at 8am and late pick-up at 6 p.m. is available.
Camps run every week from May 28 through Aug. 2. Camps are limited to 20 campers per week, to ensure that each camper gets the most out of their experience.
Best of all, at Gross Out Camp, we guarantee tired, dirty children.
