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, chapel will be a time to come together and grow spiritually.
