Registration is open to campers from 14 to 18 years old who have just completed or are entering into grades 9–12.
Fuel your passion for the medical sciences at Pre-Medicine Camp, where you’ll practice medical techniques that emphasize Christian values. Recognizing God as the source of life, Pre-Medicine Camp provides scientific/medical training with a scriptural foundation.
Daily activities include abundant experience in the PCC laboratories where you can safely study germs and bacteria under a microscope, learning how some of the tiniest creatures affect our lives. You’ll also study anatomy and physiology by dissecting animals under the direction of knowledgeable instructors.
Registration closes Wednesday, June 29, at 8 a.m.
At this pre-medicine camp, Pensacola Christian College instructors will share insight and expertise in both scientific and spiritual care. Your instructors will also offer practical guidance for understanding what is needed to study medicine in college, which will greatly benefit you as you consider a medical career.
However you spend your free time, you’ll be spending it with your newfound friends. You can explore the Sports Center—climb the rock wall, bowl with friends, cool off in the ice-skating rink, or make a splash at the water park. You can grab a smoothie at the Common Grounds Café and just hang out. Each day, daily challenges will be a time to come together and grow spiritually.
