Baptist Crash Course Camp
Baptist's Health Care Camp Offers Real Hospital Experience for High School Students
More than just a summer camp, CRASH Course takes you along for the ride of your life. Working alongside real health care heroes at Baptist Memorial Hospitals, student campers can see the true world of nursing. From caring for patients to participating in real health care experiences, campers get to see what it is really like to work in health care.
At CRASH Course, campers...
