Hands-On Camps
We recognize that there is a shortage of nurses in South Dakota — and across the country — and we developed these programs to inform students about careers in nursing and other health-related fields. If you’re wondering what it would be like to work as a nurse, pharmacist or other health care professional, you can attend our camps.
