title: Camp Can-Do. Outcomes of an experiential learning experience.
abstract: Because the most effective way to learn is by doing, faculty need to develop experiential learning experiences for students. The authors discuss one such experience, a multiple sclerosis camp where nursing students lived with and cared for their clients for 6 days. The camp experience illustrates how educators can partner with community organizations to the benefit of both.
