Amidst the unprecedented reality of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), University of Portland is taking every precaution to keep our community and visitors safe. Unfortunately, this means that we will be canceling Nurse Camp 2020. This difficult decision is rooted in our desire to keep members of the community safe and do our part as an institution to stem the tide of this pandemic.
The University of Portland School of Nursing (UPSON) is dedicated to creating access for high school students to learn more about the health care field. We want to increase opportunities in nursing to diverse, low-income, and first generation high schoolers.
The UPSON Summer Nurse Camp is a 4-day summer program that seeks to foster, affirm, and encourage high school students interested in a career in nursing at no cost to the camper. Campers will be exposed to clinical, academic, community service activities and much more!
Please note: UPSON Summer Nurse Camp is a day camp program. Overnight accommodations are not provided.
Current high school students who are interested in learning about the nursing field and how to get into nursing school are invited to apply to the UPSON Summer Nurse Camp. This is a free 4-day camp that will allow high schoolers to participate in a wide variety of activities including:
Unfortunately, applications are now closed. Due to COVID-19, Nurse Camp 2020 has been canceled. Thank you for your understanding.
