The Inspire Health Foundation, the Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas, and Greenbush are partnering to offer a Medical Spring Break Camp March 18 – 20 for area students. The camp is an interactive experience designed to spark children’s curiosity about the systems of the human body and the health careers dedicated to caring for those systems.
The camp will be hosted at the John Parolo Education Center, located on CHC/SEK’s Pittsburg North Campus at 3015 N. Michigan.
The camp will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, with separate sessions for different age groups:
- March 18: Kindergarten – 2nd Grade
- March 19: 3rd – 5th Grade
- March 20: 6th – 8th Grade
Students will have the chance to create models and conduct experiments to discover the inner workings of the skeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, and brain systems. They will participate alongside CHC/SEK staff, including dietitians, respiratory therapists, and nurses, to learn more about health and health careers.
“Students will engage in learning and play centered around the best of what each organization has to offer; skills in problem-solving, scientific experiments, health education, health careers, and community connection,” said Leah Gagnon, Director of Inspire Health Foundation. “We know this will be the first of many student learning opportunities in partnership with Greenbush and Inspire Health.”
“Greenbush camp staff are always looking for people and organizations within the community to offer unique, fun experiences for students,” said Emily Roth, Greenbush Camp and Enrichment Coordinator. “When we learned of the new education facility at the Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas, we instantly wanted to begin a partnership to educate and engage students about the health industry.”
