Health care heroes camp
Health Care Heroes Camp is an exciting, interactive week-long program designed to ignite a passion for healthcare. For over 15 years, this camp has given students the opportunity to explore the vast world of healthcare through hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and inspire future careers. Many of our former campers have gone on to become medical doctors, social workers, and healthcare professionals, making a significant impact in their communities.


Discover Your Future in Healthcare
Health Care Heroes Campers will dive into the dynamic world of healthcare through engaging hands-on activities, real-world simulations, and expert-led workshops. Whether exploring cutting-edge medical technology, virtual reality, learning essential first aid skills, or discovering career paths in medicine, nursing, public health, and more, participants will gain invaluable insights and experience.
Through interactive sessions with healthcare professionals, team-based challenges, and immersive learning experiences, campers will develop critical thinking skills, strengthen teamwork, and gain a deeper understanding of the healthcare field. This is more than just learning—it’s about preparing for the future!

Dive into the World of Healthcare
Step into the shoes of a healthcare professional with a week full of exciting, hands-on activities! Campers will put their skills to the test by practicing suturing techniques on bananas, extracting real DNA from strawberries, and even dissecting a heart to explore anatomy up close. These interactive experiences give campers a real-world glimpse into healthcare procedures and scientific discovery, helping them develop critical thinking, precision, and teamwork.
With each new challenge, campers will learn by doing, gaining confidence and insight into the fascinating world of healthcare. Whether you're drawn to research, patient care, or exploring how the body works, this immersive experience is the perfect first step toward your future in healthcare!
