OBU to Host Summer Nursing Camp July 9-11

May 16, 2025

High school students exploring a future in nursing will gain hands-on experience this summer at OBU’s School of Nursing Camp, which will be held July 9-11 on the OBU campus. This camp is for incoming high school freshmen through seniors.

The three-day camp offers participants an up-close look at the nursing profession through a series of practical and interactive sessions. Campers will learn basic CPR and first aid, practice wound care and dressings, and work with high-fidelity nursing simulation mannequins. The experience also includes opportunities to develop nursing care skills under the guidance of OBU nursing faculty, alumni, and students.

“Our camp is the perfect first step for anyone considering a career in nursing,” said Dr. Stephanie Parker, chair of the OBU School of Nursing. “It provides hands-on learning, mentorship and a glimpse into how faith and science come together in the healing profession.”

The camp, directed by OBU’s nursing faculty, integrates Christian values into the study and practice of health care. It is open to students interested in pursuing nursing as a profession.

Registration is $250. To register, visit Nursing Summer Camp page. For more information, contact the OBU School of Nursing at nursing@okbu.edu or 405-585-4450.
