The R-COOL-Health Scrubs Camp is an exciting program supported by the Center for Rural Health (CRH) at The University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences focused on rural students in grades 5-12. The NESC has hosted a camp since 2011.  The overall purpose of the program is to increase awareness, interest, and understanding of health careers available in rural North Dakota through creative and interactive activities.  The NESC SCRUBS Camp is specifically for students in 5th Grade.  The camp is held at Lake Region State College (LRSC) and the Lake Area Career and Technology Center in Devils Lake.  Each year, approximately 300 students from the NESC region attend the camp, which is one of 8-10 camps funded each year in ND through the grant from the CRH.  Students are able to attend at least seven sessions on various health-care related topics from professionals who volunteer their time for this special event.  Key connections for the camp are the NESC, LRSC, Altru Clinic DL,  CHI St. Alexius  DL Hospital, Forward Devils Lake, Lake Region Search & Rescue, and Devils Lake Public Schools Counseling Department.
