WNE-MHC Golden Bear Summer Camp

Inspiring Future Healthcare Providers

The College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is offering our FREE WNE-MHC Golden Bear Summer Camp in June 2025 (named after Western New England's mascot, the Golden Bear!), giving high school students the chance to learn about exciting careers in pharmacy, pharmaceutical sciences, occupational therapy, and neuroscience. The camp is open to high school students aged 13 to 18, and we will accept the first 35 students who register.

Campers will have the opportunity to get tips on how to prepare for a career in pharmacy or occupational therapy, learn about neuroscience and other healthcare fields, and participate in hands-on activities, labs, and demonstrations.


The WNE-MHC Golden Bear Summer Camp is made possible through support from the Massachusetts Health Council.

Camp Topics

Community Pharmacy & Ambulatory Care

Many pharmacists work with people out in the community at your local retail stores. Filling prescriptions, counseling patients about their medications, or answering questions from patients and other healthcare providers. They can also work on healthcare teams in outpatient clinics with specific populations of patients.

Pharmacists can work in a hospital compounding medications for individual patients or working with the medical team to make sure every patient gets the best treatment.

Pharmaceutics

To be a pharmacist, you must also learn how to work and compound various dosage forms.

DNA Extraction/Purification

As newer personalized medication becomes more popular, pharmacists must learn how to work with genetics.
