SUMMARY:Way Late Play Date: Camp Fear
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 7 | 7 - 10 pm | 21+You already know the feeling. The branch that snaps behind you on a dark trail. The fire that's still warm when no one should be there. The part of your brain that says leave before you know why. Camp Fear isn't about monsters.It's about that. Face Your FearsGet Tickets →Way Late Play Date: Camp Fear is a 21+ after-hours experience built around the science\, psychology\, and strange poetry of fear itself. Wander through interactive activities. Sit with unsettling questions. Let the biology of dread work on you a little. This is not a haunted house. Nothing will jump out at you.Something might stay with you\, though. What's waiting:Timed ActivitiesThe clock is ticking… timed activities have limited space and are available first come\, first served. Planetarium Show: Symphonic Voyage into the Void | 7:30 pm\, 8:15 pm\, 9:15 pm\, 9:40 pmTravel through the cosmos as a string quartet plays haunting sounds from iconic scary movies. Be mindful of the twists and turns as you journey through the unknowns of deep space.      Stage Fright Live with Third Coast Comedy | 7:15 pm\, 7:45 pm\, 8:15 pm\, 8:45 pm\, 9:15 pmThe most terrifying thing is the unknown\, and Third Coast Comedy Club is creating a show from nothing. Are you brave enough to join them on stage? Brain Talks: Fear Response | Times TBAFear starts in your mind\, but it doesn’t stay there. Join our friends from Nashville Psych to learn how your brain and body respond to being scared. Open ActivitiesFear Factor ChallengeAn acrylic box and Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches… What could go wrong?  See if your fears are valid by daring to do the MTRAS’s Fear Factor Challenge Wilderness Survival Boot Camp  Venomous EncountersA rustle in the leaves. A shadow in the grass. A creature you can’t quite identify. The Nashville Zoo’s Ectotherm Department will help you face your fears by revealing the secrets of snakes and other venomous animals and teaching you what to do if you meet one in the wild.Feast or Famine?Being alone in the woods can feel intimidating\, and the thought of going hungry can quicken your heart rate. Build your confidence with help from the Nature Explorers as they share practical foraging tips to help you identify edible plants and natural food sources. Whether you're deep in the forest or looking for a snack in your own backyard\, these simple techniques will help you connect with nature and forage safely. Tech DissectionWhat’s really hiding inside the devices we depend on every day? Crack open old computers and uncover the hidden systems that make technology work. Explore circuit boards\, processors\, memory\, and cooling systems as you discover the science behind your favorite tech. A Hair-Raising ExperienceYour hair standing on end. A spark in the air. A feeling you have to experience to believe. Face your fear of electricity and step up to our 300\,000-volt Van de Graaff generator. This high-voltage\, low-current machine creates a shocking (and totally safe) experience you won’t forget. Fist bump your friends… if you dare. Campfire S’moresThe fire is crackling. The night is getting darker. The only thing missing? S’mores. Stop by our Ruben’s Tube for the ultimate camp classic: perfectly toasted marshmallows\, gooey chocolate\, and a little science behind the flames. Bamboozled: Taste the FearHow brave is your taste bud? Pick a jellybean\, take a bite\, and face the consequences. The Bamboozled Olfactory Challenge puts your senses to the test with mystery flavors that could be delicious… or deeply questionable. Name That PhobiaArachnophobia. Claustrophobia. Coulrophobia. Think you know your fears? Put your phobia knowledge to the test and see if you can match the names to the fears they represent. ‘No Fear’ Nostalgia CraftsNeed a break from being brave? Step away from the scares and into a nostalgia-fueled craft corner. Create\, relax\, and revisit the good old days with ‘No Fear’ Nostalgia Crafts. Friday\, August 7 | 7 - 10 pm | 21+Get Tickets →What was that noise outside the cabin? Wander through Adventure Science Center after hours as you investigate mysterious camp stories\, uncover the psychology of what makes us scream\, and discover how biology\, forensics\, and perception shape our fears.
