Summer Camp

Each year Texas AHEC East - Capital Region sponsors a summer camp that is designed to give high school students an opportunity to explore a wide variety of health careers.  This year Texas AHEC East - Capital Region will offer two summer camps and both will focus on careers in nursing. Through this camp, students will learn about careers in nursing and how to start preparing for their future.  The camp is limited to a small number of participants in order to ensure that each student engages in hands-on activities.

The 2012 Nursing Career Summer Camps will be held:
June 11-15 at Texas State University in San Marcos
June 25-29 at the University of Texas at Austin
