sHaPe Camp 2022
sHaPe (Summer Health Activities and Professions Exploration) is a one-week day camp introduction to the health professions for boys and girls currently in 7th and 8th grades. Students participate in activities that provide hands-on exposure to a variety of health professions including physical therapy, medical lab science, sports medicine, and more!
Program activities include collecting data in a laboratory setting, using modern medical equipment, and understanding different types of therapies for various injuries and disabilities.
Besides learning there is a lot of fun! There are lots of activities that include physical movement and team building with great hot lunches provided.
A huge thank you to our sponsors!
