Indiana University Kokomo’s School of Nursing and Allied Health Professions (SNAHP) holds two camps in the summer: The Kids FIT Camp is five days of games, exercise, and healthy living; and the Health Professions Exploration Camp takes kids through a week of hands-on learning about different healthcare careers.
FIT Camp is a unique program designed for children ages 6-10 who are excited about fitness and starting an active lifestyle! A dedicated staff of SNAHP students will serve as counselors, supervised by SNAHP faculty, providing activities that will engage campers and keep them moving!
Campers will spend their days learning how to live a healthy lifestyle – eating well, getting plenty of rest, practicing stress management strategies, and exercising, while participating in arts, crafts, and sports! IU Kokomo student-athletes will also be present to introduce campers to soccer, track/cross country, baseball, basketball, and volleyball. Days spent making friends and enjoying fun activities will make FIT Camp a highlight of the summer!
In this interactive camp, students entering 6th, 7th and 8th grades who are interested in a career in healthcare will take part in hands-on experiences to introduce them to a variety of professions, including nursing; occupational, physical, and speech therapies; radiology and medical imaging; dietary; psychology; social work; and pastoral care. Led by IU Kokomo students and overseen by IU Kokomo faculty, students will get an in-depth look at what it takes to work in healthcare!
Each day of camp will be themed around various healthcare careers and will feature hands-on, exploratory activities, informational sessions, and panels. Campers will also take a field trip to St. Vincent Hospital in Kokomo to tour the facility and learn more about the hospital environment. Meals are provided throughout the week.
