What our past attendees are saying
I got everything i could possibly want out of this experience. Field exploration, career help, and learning more about what psychology looks like in the real world.
- Amelia
I enjoyed hearing from various professionals, including the NP, about what it's really like to work in the field. Learning about different career paths and experiencing virtual reality therapy firsthand made the program both eye-opening and inspiring.
- Bella
My favorite part of the program was learning about EMDR and understanding how it's used in therapy. Being able to also experience virtual reality made it even more engaging. Everything was clearly explained and easy to understand.
- Shaila
Real-world experience beyond the classroom
Last year’s Psychology Summer Camp participants had the unique opportunity to take their learning beyond the classroom through a collaborative project with Care Solace. Students worked together to create short video messages focused on mental health awareness and support for high school students and educators. These videos were shared with schools apart of the care solace community across the United States, giving participants the chance to contribute to a national conversation around mental health while gaining real-world experience in advocacy, communication, and collaboration.
