High school students who love sports and medicine, and want to learn about career opportunities that involve both, are encouraged to attend the tenth annual Student Athletic Trainer Camp hosted by Southeast Georgia Health System.
During the three-day comprehensive camp, Health System Sports Medicine certified athletic trainers will introduce students entering grades 9-12 to the field of sports medicine and athletic training, and the many associated career opportunities. Few experiences can better prepare high school students with an opportunity to pursue athletic training at their high school, college, or as a career.
“The camp provides students a great opportunity to learn important fundamentals in sports medicine,” says Chantal Pierre, ATC, certified athletic trainer, Southeast Georgia Health System Sports Medicine. “They’ll receive valuable hands-on training, including splinting, taping and injury prevention. The camp prepares students to return to their school and possibly work alongside a certified athletic trainer as a student athletic trainer aide.”
Camp participants receive valuable hands-on training for basic skills and techniques used in sports medicine, including:
- Injury treatment
- Athletic taping and bracing
- Hands-only CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED)
- First aid
Student Athletic Trainer Camp takes place June 6-8, 2023, 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., at the Glynn County Stadium, 5 Community Action Drive. Space is limited; registration and payment is due by May 20, 2023. The cost for the three-day camp is $85 and includes camp materials, lab supplies, T-shirt, lunch and snacks.
