Nursing Camp, facilitated by Auburn University School of Nursing (AUSON) and Auburn Youth Programs (AYP), is an engaging one-week summer program available for high school students interested in careers in nursing. Camp participants “learn by doing” and practice technical skills as they rotate through interactive learning stations led by undergraduate nursing students in the school’s labs and simulation center. Faculty use case studies and simulation scenarios to bring healthcare specializations like emergency medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and home health to life as the teens provide care for simulated patients throughout the week. The week includes team competitions, learning opportunities with community healthcare professionals, and discussion of educational pathways to nursing.

If you like Lego, you will LOVE this class! Join other brickheads in building and designing Lego creations that revolve around themes and teach strategy, flexibility, and creative thinking-skills that parents and children never knew plastic pieces could provide.

It’s almost back to school time! Help your child get ready for their advanced classwork with this camp. Excel is the most popular, broadly implemented software in industry as well as in education. Agile skills with Excel provide any student (any person, really) with a quick-start competitive advantage in necessary data organization and analysis skills. This camp is conducted consistent with the Microsoft Office Specialist 200 certification. Upon completion, students will have been exposed to and have practiced all five domain areas covered by the certification: • Manage Worksheets and Workbooks • Manage Data Cells and Ranges • Manage Tables and Table Data • Perform Operations By Using Functions • Manage Charts The MOS 200 certificate is required at many business schools (including SLU Chaifetz School of Business). This camp prepares the student for the exam and students will be shown how / where to register for and take the exam, should they choose. The exam itself is not part of the camp. No prior experience with Excel is required – basic QWERTY keyboarding ability, and nothing more. Camp attendees must bring their own computer; Windows or Apple / Mac work equally well. IPads / tablets will not work.
