CNYAHEC MASH Camps

MASH Camp, or the Medical Academy of Science and Health, is a fun and educational day camp for students to explore health careers. Students are exposed to a variety of health professions, covering everything from on-the-job-training to an advanced college degree.

Campers enjoy one to three days of fun and interaction at a local healthcare facility or college, where they will:

• Learn about a variety of health professions as viable career options
• Learn about the educational requirements, skills, and typical job duties
• Participate in interactive, hands-on workshops

As part of the camp experience, each participant will receive scrubs to wear at camp; breakfast, lunch, and snacks; certificate of participation; and lots of attention from caring health professionals!

Typically, MASH Camps held during the summer are for students entering the 9th-12th grades.

*Workshop topics vary by healthcare facility and college and may include physical therapy, nursing, surgery, food service, clinical laboratory sciences, cardiac care, pathology, diagnostic imaging, recreational therapy, pharmacy, emergency medicine, and others.
