Bossier Parish Community College, in collaboration with the Northwest Louisiana Healthcare Sector Partnership, will host the Med Quest Summer Youth Camp this July, offering a hands-on, immersive experience designed to inspire middle school students to explore careers in healthcare.
Med Quest is open to students who have completed the seventh grade during the 2024–2025 school year and are entering eighth grade this fall. The week-long camp provides an engaging introduction to healthcare professions through interactive activities and demonstrations led by experienced industry professionals. Campers will explore career paths in nursing, emergency medicine, laboratory science, and other high-demand fields, while connecting with healthcare mentors and peers who share similar interests.
Two sessions of the camp will be offered from July 14–18 and July 21–25. Camp will be held from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. each day in Building B on BPCC’s Bossier campus, located at 6220 East Texas Street. The registration fee is $75 per camper and includes a scrub top, official camp badge, and daily lunch provided by participating healthcare organizations. Students with food allergies are asked to bring their own lunch.
Acceptance is limited to 30 qualified applicants per session. To be considered, applicants must complete all registration requirements by the June 25 deadline, including a signed waiver, agreement to camp policies, and full payment. Official notice of acceptance will be emailed by June 30 to the parent or legal guardian.
Med Quest is made possible through the support of the Northwest Louisiana Healthcare Sector Partnership, which includes Bossier Parish Community College, Willis-Knighton Health System, Delta Pathology, David Raines Community Health Centers, Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport, Louisiana Workforce Commission, Brentwood Hospital, CHRISTUS Health, North La Technical Community College, City of Shreveport, and The Coordinating & Development Corporation.
