Discovery MedCamp is a focused summer experience for teens curious about healthcare and medical careers. Hosted by Auburn University’s youth programs, the camp offers participants a structured, realistic look at a wide range of health professions in an academic setting.
Throughout the program, campers explore careers such as medicine, nursing, pharmacy, clinical laboratory science, dietetics, social work, audiology, speech-language pathology, and emergency medical services. Learning takes place through interactive sessions, lab visits, discussions with faculty, and conversations with current university students already studying in these fields.
The atmosphere blends academic exploration with the fun and independence of campus life. Campers live together in university housing, share meals, and participate in organized evening activities and group outings. This balance helps teens experience what college life feels like while staying supported in a supervised environment.
Discovery MedCamp is designed for students finishing 11th or 12th grade, as well as rising college freshmen. It’s especially appealing to teens who enjoy science, want hands-on learning, and are trying to decide whether a healthcare-related major or career is the right fit before starting college.
