The AzAHEC Health Careers Summer Camp is for high school freshman and sophomores who are interested in health careers.

Throughout the week, students identified and developed a community health project that they could then take back to their schools and further develop within their schools and communities. After sessions students took part in social activities such as going downtown to eat ice cream, going to the movies or having a picnic. The camp ended with a closing ceremony and students received a certificate of participation.
