Local youth watch emergency responders react to a single vehicle accident during a mock scenario Tuesday as part of Rend Lake College's Discovery Camp. Participants learned about a variety of health careers on the Ina campus Tuesday. They will visit Crossroads Community Hospital and Hamilton County Memorial on Wednesday. Discovery Camps are made possible through a partnership between RLC and the South Central Illinois Area Health Education Center.
