They were also provided instruction in CPR, first aid and general nursing skills such as vital signs. Campers also took field trips to the Delta Blues Museum and Ground Zero in Clarksdale, North Sunflower Hospital in Ruleville and Bolivar Medical Center in Cleveland, during which time they shadowed a BMC nurse.
 
The camp participants also completed a service project in which they provided toys and activity items to the pediatric unit at Bolivar Medical Center. In addition, they researched, completed and presented a poster and presentation on an assigned disease. The project challenged the students to use the internet, e-mail, word processing, PowerPoint, save to a jump drive and burn to a CD – all valuable skills in their college preparedness.
