The cost to attend is $40 per day, which covers lunch, snacks and learning materials. If this fee is a barrier to participation, please contact youth.careers@ahs.ca to apply for sponsorship.

In an effort to align with the spirit of reconciliation and calls to action, AHS is waiving registration fees for Indigenous students.

These camps­­ – including an Indigenous Healthcare Career Exploration Day in Calgary – are one way AHS is hoping to developing the next generation of healthcare workers.
