Scrub Camp is a one day event that was supposed to happen on Monday, April 13, 2020 from 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Bismarck State College Health Sciences building, 1133 College Drive, Bismarck, ND. However, with the current health crisis, it has been canceled. We will work on refunding the registration fees to the credit card initially used but it could possibly take a few weeks to get all of them processed. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

At the BSC Scrub Camp, children ages 7-13 participate in nursing activities and games with members of the BSC Student Nurses Organization. They learn about the body, listen to the heart and lungs, check blood pressure and care for wounds. Participants receive lunch, a scrub top, stethoscope and nursing treat bag!

Please email Deb Cave, or call 224-2431 with any questions or concerns. Thank you!

Every year, student groups, grades 7-12, lead by teachers and/or career counselors are invited to attend BSC's Spring Ag Academy at the Career Center. It is a FREE event where participants will explore the BSC Agriculture, Technology and Natural Resources Program.  There will be guided agriculture lab sessions which will include plant science, animal science, GIS/GPS technology and career opportunities.  It will also be a great time to discover the BSC campus with lunch at the Student Union and campus tours available from our admissions team. 

Participants will receive a BSC backpack FULL of swag including a t-shirt, hat, pens, notebooks, pop sockets and more! The students will also be entered into a drawing for a $500 BSC Foundation Scholarship!
