| Facility: | Saint Joseph Mercy Health Exploration Station |
| Description: | Imagine seeing real germs grow. And crawling through a giant intestinal tract. And learning about body systems while playing a TV-style game show. These are the tools that inspire young minds to learn about health. About wellness. About making wise lifestyle choices. These are the tools of the Saint Joseph Mercy Health Exploration Station, Michigan's first interactive health education center - one of only about 30 in the entire country. Your group will have time to explore the Exhibit Gallery -- a giant walk-through (not to mention crawl and slide through!) of the human body filled with exhibits to engage the senses of touch, sound and sight. Kids - and kids at heart - will enjoy leaping, pulling and stretching in the fitness area, hearing the rhythm of their own heartbeat and testing their nutrition savvy using a touch screen. Equally engaging will be the health presentation you select (see program descriptions). The age-appropriate programs are designed to complement - not replace - classroom instruction. Using a wide variety of tools and techniques, instructors will involve students, get their bodies and minds moving, play games with them and, ultimately, increase their knowledge and awareness of health in a fun and memorable way. Homeschool Groups: Reservations, choice of 22 subjects that range from preschool through 12th grade along with the tour, and available dates can be found on the website. The program lasts 75 minutes. The cost is $4/student with a minimum charge of $72.00. Not part of a group, the facility is open to individuals and families the 4th Thursday of every month. You can expect to spend 40 to 60 minutes for the tour. Hours: 10am - 8pm from September - May at no charge and 10am - 6pm from June - August at $1/child and $2/adult. |
