Shriners Children's Hospital Experience
June 25 & 26, 2026
Emporia State University Memorial Union
Emporia, Kansas

The Hospital Experience Day is one of the most rewarding parts of participating in the Kansas Shrine Bowl. Traditionally, the players have visited the hospital in St. Louis, but in 2011, a new twist to the day was installed. ​In an effort to involve more people and to send even more funds to the hospitals, the Kansas Shrine Bowl brought the hospital to Kansas! Watch some of the videos below to get a glimpse into the Hospital Experience Day at the Kansas Shrine Bowl. If you'd like to experience it for yourself, we invite you to make plans to join us for the 2026 Hospital Experience in Emporia at Emporia State University Memorial Union (1331 Market St, Emporia, KS 66801​).
