Health Careers Summer Camps

Health Careers Camps are 5 day programs held around the state of Wisconsin. These camps allow the students to experience first hand the challenges, opportunities and rewards of health professions. The hands-on activities are facilitated by health profession students, instructors and health care professionals. Diversity awareness and leadership skill training are also a part of the camp experience. This unique camp is a collaboration of Wisconsin AHEC regional offices, local colleges, technical schools, and area healthcare practitioners. These summer camps are open to any student in high school. Meals, lodging expenses and other program costs are provided by AHEC funding and sponsoring organizations. Chaperones will be on site at all times. A nonrefundable reservation fee is required upon acceptance to a camp. There are scholarships available.

College students interested in chaperoning at any of the camps should apply using the separate HCC counselor application.  Pay will vary, depending upon the camp.  Please send your application to the contact listed for the camp where you are interested in working
