Field Trips

The CHAMP Center offers high school students a unique opportunity to explore the science of health, wellness, and human performance through hands-on experiences. Our field trips allow students to connect classroom concepts to real-world applications, whether in biology, physiology, sports science, or health education. Students gain firsthand experience with assessments like DEXA, VO₂max, Biodex, and marker-less Gait Analysis, giving them a deeper understanding of the science behind human performance.

 

These field trips are not only educational, they’re interactive, engaging, and designed to inspire curiosity. Schools often pair the visit with lessons or labs in their curriculum to provide students with a practical, hands-on extension of what they’re learning in the classroom.
