K-12 & Youth Programs

North Country strives to improve the education, training and distribution of healthcare professionals in Arizona. We believe it is important to provide information, education and exposure to the many healthcare careers available beginning at the elementary school level. Our initiatives educate all pre-college youth, with an emphasis on underrepresented minorities and economically and educationally disadvantaged populations.

My favorite part about camp was all of the staff who seemed very passionate about the camp. Since this was my and many other people's first virtual camp, having amazing staff members made the camp much more relaxing.
