Lyden to attend CampMed

Lucas Lyden, who will be a freshman this fall at Bellevue Senior High School, will attend the 11th annual CampMed program at The University of Toledo Health Science Campus June 19-20. Lyden is one of 34 northwest Ohio students to be accepted into the program.

CampMed is a two-day camp intended to stimulate the students' interests in the medical and science fields by experiencing hands-on and up-close laboratory sessions and seminars. The selected students needed to submit a letter of recommendation, a nomination from a math or science teacher or counselor, and a personal essay.

The ninth graders will be assigned to teams and guided by physicians and UT medical students during their experiences at CampMed. They will cover a multitude of areas including anatomy, histology, clinical skills orthopedics and surgery.

Lucas is the son of Ricky and Gayle Lyden of Bellevue.
