Professions Exploration (SHAPE) summer day camp sponsored by Grand
Valley State University.
Participants will explore the professions of medical laboratory
science, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, physician
assistant, radiation therapy, sonography, speech pathology, sports
medicine and therapeutic recreation.

hands-on science activities that include laboratories and simulations
with modern medical equipment. They will also gain academically
