This summer, Students in Medicine is hosting a FREE VIRTUAL SUMMER IMMERSION CAMP for incoming 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. In this camp, students will be able to engage in at-home science experiments and various interactive activities relating to science, medicine, and anatomy. It offers students an amazing opportunity to do something educational over the summer, explore their interests in the medical field, and meet new friends!

At the start of the camp students will receive a science journal which will contain experiment instructions, list of materials, key takeaways from the class, and questions to answer about thee material learned in class. Students will learn how to properly form and conduct experiments, the science behind each of these expeirents, and important skills such as organization, analysis, independence, and interaction. Upon completing this camp, participants will be able to earn a personalized certificate from Students in Medicine.

Students may register for ONE of the following weeks. This camp allows students on a first-come-first-serve basis. Once the camp is full registration for that week will be closed on the form, you may choose to register for another week. The Friday before the start date there will be an optional Q&A for parents to stop by and learn more about what will be covered day by day in the camp as well as parent/student expectations regarding the camp. Registration for students will be open on June 8th, 2022 at 12 pm PST.
