I am looking for a Pharmacy Summer Camp for my rising Junior who has expressed an interest in Pharmacy. I have searched the web and found some out of state camps, but I would like to find one that's fairly close. Does anyone have any knowledge of any such camps?

I don't, but you might nose around the UNC School of Pharmacy website and see if you can find some info.

I didn't know there were such things!

The UNC Pharmacy school has one-day events for high school students. Unfortunately, they only have one more session this spring and it's in Asheville, but that may be worth the drive.

The only summer camp in NC I found was at Campbell University and their registration is already closed. Plus, it is only a day camp - not overnight. But it may be something to consider for summer 2015.

Ever give any thought to having your child investigate summer internships at one of the local pharmaceutical companies? I don't know if they offer them to High School students but it might be even better than a Summer program. And before anyone throws cold water on the idea, I know of plenty of teenagers who wound up with awesome opportunities simply by asking where others wouldn't dare. Y'know, nothing ventured nothing gained? I'd have him/her launch an email and letter writing campaign to all of the local companies.

If she continues an interest, I recommend that she get a job in a local pharmacy. One of my daughter's did, and the interaction with the public convinced her to go into another area of the medical field.

I wouldn't necessarily let an experience at retail pharmacy rule out getting a pharmacy degree. It can be used for many things including drug research, education, and many other career paths. Liking Chemistry would definitely help though

Yes, I went through all of that with her, but she decided her interest in pharmacology was not as strong as she earlier thought. Overall, working in a retail pharmacy was a positive experience for her, despite the actions of a small minority of the general public.
