The camp offers on-campus housing, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in the university environment while enjoying a structured and supportive living experience. Campers stay in student residence halls that reflect typical college accommodations, helping them get a realistic preview of campus life. Rooms are shared with fellow campers, encouraging social interaction, teamwork, and new friendships throughout the program.
Housing areas are supervised by trained staff who provide guidance, support, and overnight monitoring. Clear expectations are set for behavior, quiet hours, and daily routines to ensure a comfortable experience for everyone. Campers follow a structured schedule that balances academic activities, downtime, and rest.
This residential setup is especially valuable for older students who are considering future college experiences. Staying on campus helps campers build independence, responsibility, and confidence while remaining in a safe, organized environment explicitly designed for youth programs.
Safety is a core priority of the Auburn Youth Nursing Program. Camp activities take place in supervised educational settings designed for student learning and engagement. Campers are monitored by trained staff throughout the day to ensure appropriate behavior, structured schedules, and clear expectations.
Hands-on activities and simulations are conducted using age-appropriate equipment and under close supervision. Safety guidelines are explained before each activity, and campers are instructed on proper procedures to minimize risk. Group sizes are managed to allow instructors to provide individual attention and maintain a controlled learning environment.
Clear check-in and check-out procedures help ensure campers are accounted for at all times. Emergency protocols are in place, and staff members are prepared to respond quickly and calmly should any situation arise. This structured approach helps create a secure environment where campers can learn with confidence.
Health considerations are carefully managed during the Auburn Youth Nursing Program. Campers are expected to follow general health guidelines and communicate any medical needs or concerns before attending. This allows staff to be aware of allergies, medications, or special considerations.
Activities related to nursing and healthcare education are instructional rather than clinical, meaning no invasive procedures are performed. Demonstrations and simulations use safe, educational tools designed specifically for student learning.
In the event a camper feels unwell, staff follow established procedures to ensure the camper’s comfort and safety while notifying parents or guardians as appropriate. This attentive approach ensures campers’ well-being is respected throughout the program.
The activities program is designed to provide campers with an authentic introduction to nursing and healthcare professions. Through a mix of instruction, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, campers explore how nurses care for patients and work within medical teams. Activities are interactive and discussion-based, helping students connect theory with real-life applications. The program balances academic depth with engaging delivery to keep learners motivated.
Campers explore anatomy, patient care fundamentals, and medical ethics while practicing skills through simulations. Teamwork and communication are emphasized throughout the program, mirroring real healthcare environments. Instructors encourage questions and curiosity, making learning approachable and inspiring.
