Camper Application

Dear Parents and Students,

We are excited to announce Henry Ford Jackson Hospital (HFJH) in partnership with the Jackson Area Career Center (JACC) will be hosting our fourth annual summer healthcare camp, free of cost to thirty (30) Jackson area students, currently in grades 6th - 9th. Our day camp will take place Monday June 15th- Friday June 19th, 2026. Our camp will provide students with an opportunity to learn about healthcare related careers, learn directly from our team of professionals, participate in hands on activities, and much more!

The 2026 HFJH Al Glick Healthcare Camp will be held at Henry Ford Jackson Hospital and the Jackson area Career Center. Parents will have the option to drop their student off at the specified camp location, or at one of the two designated bus stops.

Parents who would like to transport their child themselves directly to the camp site, will need to ensure their student is dropped off between 7:55am-8:00am, then picked up from the same location between 2:55pm-3:00pm. Parents who would like their child to be transported by bus (JCISD), will need to drop off and pick up their student from their selected bus stop locations. Students will be accompanied by a camp counselor at all times. Students who are riding the bus must be picked up by their parent/legal guardian, and this individual must show a valid photo I.D. daily before the student can be released. Information pertaining to the bus route, pick up, and drop off times will be communicated at a later date. Campers will be provided a t-shirt, goodie bag, lunch, snacks and water throughout the day.

Please Note: All students will be required to receive all vaccinations and testing (Camp Vaccination Timeline included with the application) required by Henry Ford Health’s compliance standards and the CDC. After you have completed the below application, and your student has received all vaccinations and required testing, please email your student’s official State of Michigan Immunization Record or MCIR to (HFJHAlGlickHealthcareCamp4@hfhs.org), no later than Monday May 18th, 2026.

Once your student’s application and official State of Michigan Immunization Record or MCIR is received you will receive a confirmation email indicating next steps. Your students State of Michigan Immunization Record will be sent to Henry Ford Jackson’s Employee Health to verify vaccination administration and testing. The HFJH Al Glick Healthcare Camp has limited spaces. We will be accepting a total of thirty (30) students. Students will be selected based on the order in which their application is submitted (first come first serve), as well as their short essay response.
