High school and middle school students can explore health care careers this summer at Georgia Highlands College (GHC) in Rome. GHC, in partnership with Atrium Health Floyd and the Blue Ridge Area Health Education Center, is hosting two summer camps that offer hands-on experiences. The Health Care Discovery Camp, for students entering grades 5 through 8, runs from June 11-13, daily from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. This camp includes interactive activities led by health care professionals and covers topics like nursing and emergency care. Last year’s participants learned about the decontamination process through a fun activity. The Health Care Exploration Camp, for students entering grades 9 through 12, is from June 23-26, also from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. This camp focuses on medical careers and features a Body Interact Virtual Patient Simulator for engaging learning. Registration for the camps is $99 for the Discovery Camp and $149 for the Exploration Camp if signed up by April 5. Interested students can register online [HERE). Families should register quickly as spaces are limited.
