Before they were accepted to the program, junior and senior high school students submitted essays explaining why they wanted to participate in Explore Cru Nursing Summer Camp. During camp, they were introduced to core concepts of nursing through classroom lectures, discussions and simulations in the Isabelle Rutherford Meyer Nursing Education Center, as well as the spiritual and educational environment at UMHB.
