What is the total cost of this camp for me the student?

All of the Area Health Education Center (AHEC) camps are sponsored by AHECs and in some regions also by area health care systems. This camp costs the sponsors about $600.00 per student. By having sponsors, we are able to keep your cost of this camp to only the non-refundable confirmation fee.

Health careers summer camp is for high school students -- the MADISON camp is open to students entering into 10th, 11th, or 12th grade in the fall of 2013. Students who have graduated high school are encouraged to contact their regional office to learn of future counselor opportunities.
Is this a day camp or an overnight camp?
This camp is an overnight camp. Camps run from Sunday to Thursday. Students are required to stay on campus. Camp activities start in the morning and run into the evenings. Due to the camp schedule no exceptions to the overnight stay are able to be made.
What is considered a complete application?
A complete MADISON camp application is the Student Information Page, Student Personal Statement (online) and two references - the Teacher/School Official Reference form is online. The student's application will not be considered until all of the above forms are received by the AHEC regional office.
Are the teacher/school official reference forms included with the student portion of the application?
No. Teacher/school official references are provided separately to the camp director. Please make sure they are submitted online by the application due date.
