Campers on the frontlines of health care
BJC • Donning scrubs for a trip to the OR, stepping out on a helipad, taste-testing hospital food, trying out an emergency med sled or learning how a pharmacy works aren’t your typical summer camp activities.
But these are just a few of the educational things seventh- and eighth-grade students got to do this year during the annual Adventures in HealthCare Camp sponsored by BJC School Outreach & Youth Development.
Open to BJC employees’ children, this year’s camp was held July 18-22. It gave the 36 campers a front-row seat to daily happenings at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Christian Hospital, Missouri Baptist Medical Center and Parkland Health Center and offered them a glimpse into what a future career in health care could hold.
If you would like to learn about the opportunities the camp provides, as well as how to apply for next year, please contact us.
