Healthcare Discovery Camp Summer 2025 | College of Integrative Sciences and Arts

Healthcare Discovery Camp offers rising high schoolers in 8th or 9th grade an enriching and educational glimpse into health and wellness degrees and professions directly from faculty, staff and students in ASU's College of Integrative Sciences and Arts at the Polytechnic campus in Mesa.

Campers will be introduced to veterinary medicine, dentistry, counseling and psychology, nutrition, pre-med and other health and wellness disciplines through hands-on learning experiences, lab exploration, panel discussions with healthcare professionals, and interactive workshops and activities. Participants will also have the exciting opportunity to experience ASU's Dreamscape Learn Lab.

Campers will gain equally important soft skills such as communication, leadership, problem-solving and creativity in a higher education setting. Healthcare Discovery Camp immerses students in Sun Devil life and empowers them to explore just a fraction of what higher education has to offer.
