African Nova Scotian Health Science Camp Expression of Interest

Promoting Leadership in health for African Nova Scotians (PLANS) at Dalhousie University is happy to be accepting applications for the 2023 African Nova Scotian Health Science Summer Camps. African Nova Scotian/Canadian students from across Nova Scotia who are interested in a career in health and completing Grades 8 - 10 in June 2023 are invited to apply for this unique opportunity.

The purpose of the camp is to increase interest in the health professions within the Black community. The camp will be held in person at Dalhousie University and will introduce the youth to a variety of health professions through fun, hands-on and interactive programming. The camp will also consist of personal development, cultural and recreational activities. This is an overnight camp – accommodations, meals and snacks will be provided. Participants will be responsible for their transportation to and from home to Dalhousie University.

To provide the most personalized experience space is limited. Potentially not all who apply will receive an offer to attend.
