Camp Scrubs: Nursing and Allied Health
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, June 17
Take a peek into the fast-paced world of health care, including nursing, medical assistant and physical therapy assistant careers. Students will observe how to insert an IV, learn CPR and first aid and discover which branch of health care may best fit their skills.
Camp Future Heroes: Criminal Justice and Emergency Medical Services
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 18

Camp Mind Over Metal: Skilled Trades
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, June 20
Do you like to build, fix or take things apart? In this camp, students will rotate among different skilled trades stations to do hands-on activities and learn how someday they can be the one who manufactures the next big thing.
