Emory & Henry College to hold summer camps online

Emory & Henry College is offering their Healthcare Careers Camp and Summer Scholars Institute & Leadership Program virtually this summer out of an abundance of caution pertaining to COVID-19.

The second annual Healthcare Careers Camp is available for rising high school juniors and seniors who are interested in exploring healthcare careers such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant, athletic training, pharmacy, optometry, nursing, medicine or veterinary medicine. Faculty members from Emory & Henry’s School of Health Sciences will lead the academic sessions.

“The camp is a tremendous step toward increasing the number of healthcare providers in our region,” says J.P. Barfield, E&H Exercise Science professor and director of the pre-health program. “The Pre-Health program at Emory & Henry encourages a new generation of healthcare professionals to see what’s entailed in these careers while exploring healthcare.”

Online sessions will take place each day June 15 - June 19, 2020. Registration is available by clicking here.

The Summer Scholars Institute & Leadership Program provides students with an opportunity to begin a new adventure in learning and growing. The program includes a unique mix of learning activities designed to broaden academic interests and provides skills and tools to help students become better prepared for leadership roles in high school and college. The sessions are available for rising 6th - 9th graders and rising 10th - 12th graders.

Online sessions will take place each day June 1 - June 5, 2020. Registration for this camp is available here.
