Middle school students with big dreams of making a difference in healthcare will have an exciting opportunity this summer. Lake-Sumter State College is hosting a dynamic Healthcare Exploration Camp designed to spark curiosity and introduce young learners to a variety of medical careers—all in a fun, hands-on environment.
Perfect for students interested in becoming nurses, radiologists, or first responders, this fast-paced camp goes beyond the classroom. Participants will dive into real-world simulations and engaging medical experiments that bring healthcare careers to life.
Two convenient sessions are available:
- Leesburg Campus: Monday, July 13 through Thursday, July 16, 2026
- South Lake Campus: Monday, July 20 through Thursday, July 23, 2026
Each day runs from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm, giving students a focused, high-energy experience without taking up the entire day.
Throughout the week, campers will explore a different medical theme each day, including:
- College and career pathways in healthcare
- Nursing and patient care techniques
- Radiology and medical imaging
- Emergency services and first response
Rather than simply reading about these fields, students will actively participate—learning by doing and gaining a better understanding of what a future in healthcare could look like.
Spots are limited, and early registration is encouraged for families looking to give their middle schooler a memorable and inspiring summer experience.
For more information and to reserve a spot, interested families should follow the provided registration link.
