Thinking about a career in health care? HOPE Camp is your chance to find out if it's the right path.

HOPE Camp (Health Occupations Program Experience) is an immersive, overnight health careers exploration camp. Over four action-packed days, you'll step inside real clinical settings, try hands-on simulations, and connect with working health care professionals and instructors across the Fargo-Moorhead region.

Campers visit clinical programs and departments throughout the area, including a stop at M State - where you'll get an up-close look at our top health care programs, including nursing, dental and surgical technology. You'll explore our state-of-the-art labs and experience what training in these fields actually looks like.

HOPE Camp is offered through a partnership between Sanford Health Fargo and NDSU's College of Health and Human Sciences.
