MASH Camps Offered for 7th & 8th Graders
Summer MASH Camps
One of the BEST WAYS to see inside the field of health care is to attend a MASH CAMP. These camps are open to students currently in 7 and 8th grades (going into 8th and 9th grades).
MASH Camp, or the Medical Academy of Science and Health, is a fun two or three day camp for students to explore health careers. Students are exposed to a variety of health professions, covering everything from on-the-job-training to an advanced college degree. Students will:
· Learn about a variety of health professions as viable career options;
· Learn about the educational requirements, skills, typical job duties, and personal qualities of successful health professionals and para-professionals; and
· Participate in interactive, hands-on workshops* that highlight the skills, equipment, technology, and resources used by health professionals.
As part of the camp experience, each participant will receive scrubs and lanyard with name badge to wear at camp; breakfast, lunch, and snacks; certificate of participation; and lots of attention from caring health professionals!
*Workshop topics vary by healthcare facility and may include physical therapy, nursing, surgery, food service, clinical laboratory sciences, cardiac care, pathology, diagnostic imaging, recreational therapy, pharmacy, emergency medicine, and others.
