This year’s MASH Camp (Medical Academy of Science and Health) at Oswego Hospital will be held July 30 and 31 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.

During the camp, students will have the opportunity to take part in hands-on activities such as learning how to suture, which is taught by the hospital surgery center staff.

There will also be tours of many departments, providing the students with a behind-the-scenes look at the hospital and the variety of jobs that are offered in a healthcare setting.

All campers will receive hospital scrubs to wear each day at camp, breakfast and lunch, a T-shirt, and education materials.

The camp fee is $30 per student.

The camp is coordinated by the Central New York Area Health Education Center, which is pleased to offer scholarships to those students who need assistance with the registration fee.

Space is limited to 20 students at M.A.S.H. Camp and application will be determined by a selection process.
