To chart a course for her future, she first turned to her past.<\/p>\n<p>Back in high school, Young had attended the <a href=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/about-multicare\/community\/mash-camp\/\">MultiCare Academy for Students in Healthcare (M.A.S.H.) Camp<\/a>. It was an experience that helped ignite Young\u2019s passion for health care \u2014 and years later as she changed careers, it served as her North Star.<\/p>\n<p>Young went on to earn her Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and then joined the team at <a href=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/location\/good-samaritan-hospital\/\">MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital<\/a> as a registered nurse (RN). For several years, Young has volunteered for M.A.S.H. Camp and served as a mentor, lighting the way for the next generation of health care professionals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVolunteering reenergizes me,\u201d Young says. \u201cEvery year there\u2019s at least one camp participant who says, \u2018I know what I want to do now,\u2019 and I get chills just thinking about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>20 years and going strong<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Celebrating its 20th year, M.A.S.H. Camp (formerly Nurse Camp) is a weeklong, hands-on summer enrichment experience for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors. This year, 82 students participated from across the Puget Sound.<\/p>\n<p>When Young attended the camp, it focused on exposing participants to careers in nursing. However, since its inception in 2004, M.A.S.H. Camp has evolved to embrace a variety of health care professions, both clinical and nonclinical. Students learn about specialties ranging from medical genetics to speech pathology to respiratory therapy to hospital finance and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cM.A.S.H. Camp is an incredible opportunity for students and an investment in the future of health care,\u201d says Sheri Mitchell, RN, manager of community outreach programs for the MultiCare Center for Health Equity and Wellness. \u201cWe need more health care professionals in our communities, and this experience gives youth a glimpse into the many possibilities, hopefully helping them discover a career pathway that resonates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One important aspect of the camp that has not changed over the years is cost \u2014 the camp is free to participants, with the goal of attracting students from diverse backgrounds and underrepresented communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPatients are diverse, and to adequately meet their needs, our workforce must also reflect that diversity,\u201d Mitchell says. \u201cThat\u2019s why we want to afford this opportunity to as many students as possible. Cost should not prevent someone from discovering what health care career they\u2019re passionate about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slots at the camp are competitive, but Mitchell says the selection team looks beyond grades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want participants who are well-rounded and are involved in their community in some way \u2014 maybe they volunteer or have a job or play sports,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd while many students who apply have backgrounds in technology and science, we also welcome those who don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What it\u2019s like to be a M.A.S.H. camper<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>M.A.S.H. Camp students see and do a lot over the course of a week. They participate in hands-on rotations, where they learn skills like splinting and wound cleaning. They also listen to health care professionals discuss their various roles, tour college campuses and more. The goal of these activities is to give students a holistic view of how team-based care is accomplished in a hospital setting.<\/p>\n<p>High school sophomore Kamryn Banks learned new skills starting day one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat very first day I placed an IV and did sutures, which was something I had really been looking forward to,\u201d she says. \u201cI even learned a more efficient way to do CPR on babies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For many M.A.S.H. campers, including Banks, the highlight of the week is the opportunity to participate in job shadows.<\/p>\n<p>Banks shadowed a surgeon and an RN, experiences that opened her eyes to roles in health care she hadn\u2019t considered before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went into M.A.S.H. Camp thinking I wanted to be an anesthesiologist, but I really loved the RN role,\u201d she says. \u201cThere\u2019s so much that they do and I like how intimately they work with patients. Now I\u2019m thinking about being a nurse anesthetist.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_28547\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28547\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28547\" src=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/08\/Matthea_Baldago_Gaines-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Teenage girl who participated in M.A.S.H.

Camp participant Matthea Baldago-Gaines<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For some campers, the weeklong experience reinforces their career goals. Matthea Baldago-Gaines, a high school junior, was inspired to work in health care from an early age by her mother, a certified nursing assistant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI watched her take care of senior citizens in nursing homes when I was growing up and knew I wanted to be like her and go into nursing,\u201d Baldago-Gaines says. \u201cThis camp showed me the many places nurses can work and made me feel more confident in my decision to major in nursing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year, the culminating activity of M.A.S.H. Camp was an escape room, where campers were divided into teams and had to solve a series of puzzles in a set amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt simulated an ER and everyone had to work together to figure what was wrong with a patient,\u201d Banks says. \u201cIt was cool because in real life people in health care have to do this sort of thing every day. It was also a fun way to recap everything we\u2019d learned throughout the week.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The view from a volunteer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_28551\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28551\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28551\" src=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/vitals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/08\/Krystal_Young-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Woman pointing to sign about M.A.S.H.

Camp volunteer and mentor Krystal Young<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Students aren\u2019t the only ones who engage in discovery at M.A.S.H. Camp. Young \u2014 former camper and now M.A.S.H. Camp mentor \u2014 shares that she often learns something new, whether she\u2019s running an activity station or chaperoning a tour. Sometimes it\u2019s the students themselves that enlighten her perspective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we visited one of the colleges, a camper asked an instructor, \u2018How are you teaching self-care to your nursing students?\u2019\u201d Young says. \u201cI was blown away by the wisdom in this question. At a time when burnout is rampant, it made me optimistic about the future of nursing to know that these students are already prioritizing self-care.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>It takes a village<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The secret to M.A.S.H. Camp\u2019s success year after year is collaboration. A variety of community partners provide donations and sponsorships, which help make the camp accessible to all students. MultiCare also partners with local schools to help spread the world about this unique opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, M.A.S.H. Camp has only accepted applicants from Pierce, south King, Thurston and Kitsap counties. However, MultiCare is in the process of launching M.A.S.H.
