Join us for an immersive Health Careers Camp at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, where high school students can explore the dynamic world of health professions! 

This exciting overnight experience allows participants to stay in the residence halls, enjoy meals, and connect with dedicated faculty from diverse health-related majors. Campers will have the unique opportunity to meet professors from fields such as Physical Therapy, Athletic Training, Nursing, Medical Laboratory Sciences, Audiology, Speech Language Pathology, Child Life Specialist, Wellness Coaching, and Nutrition. These experts will share their insights, provide guidance, and inspire the next generation of health professionals.  

Throughout the camp, students will embark on guided tours of local hospitals, gaining exclusive behind-the-scenes access to various departments and specialties. Engaging workshops and hands-on activities will deepen their understanding of each profession, while interactive discussions will help campers explore their interests and career aspirations. Whether you're curious about patient care, diagnostics, or health education, this camp is the perfect chance to kickstart your journey into the health sciences. Join us at UW-Stevens Point for a memorable and educational adventure!
