There are several reasons students have given over the years. When the choice is summer school or summer camp, many students have chosen summer camp as an exciting hands-on way to learn . Others need an elective course to graduate and don t want to do that when they are taking other nursing courses. Some students have gone to camp because they either enjoyed it so much when they went, or because they never had the opportunity to go until now.
Some students think that it sounds like fun.
Besides having a great time, you will be giving alot to others. This course is titled Community Service Learning . You will be learning while you are serving. As professional nurses, we will be expected to contribute to our communities and our professional organizations. Summer camps for children with special needs are a good example of many professionals pulling together to make something special happen.
