Time To Apply For GAIN Camp

The Genesis Adventures in Nursing Summer Camp (GAIN) will return July 12-16 for young people who may be interested in a nursing career.

Applications for GAIN will be accepted beginning March 15 and must be received by May 3. Cost for camp is $195. A limited number of scholarships will be available.

Campers (12-18 years old) attending the day camp will be introduced to different specialties in healthcare. They will tour the hospital, observe a mock trauma in the emergency department, visit an operating room, visit the simulation lab and learn first aid and CPR.

Campers also will learn basic anatomy and physiology of the heart and brain and will learn about health assessment.

GAIN Camp is made possible partly through funding from the Genesis Health Services Foundation.

To register, call Karyn Hinton at (563) 421-7671.
