Athletic Training Summer Camp:
The University
of Wisconsin-La Crosse offers an
annual UW-L Athletic Training Camp for high school
students interested in athletic
training. This camp is
designed for students to
experience first-hand knowledge
regarding the athletic training
profession through the guidance
of licensed athletic trainers as
well as athletic training
students currently in the UW-L athletic training program.
The athletic training program at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse was the first accredited athletic training program in the state of Wisconsin, and offers one of the most competitive, in-depth and hands-on athletic training programs in the country. The athletic training program has gained an excellent reputation for involving their athletic training students in various year-round athletic training opportunities.
The
athletic training camp is just one of the many opportunities
athletic training students at UW-L participate, in an effort to
educate high school students about the athletic training
profession. Athletic trainers have become a resource in
various high schools across the United States and with the
volume of high school athletics, students can serve as an aide
in the prevention of athletic injuries, providing basic first
aid, and carrying out rehabilitation programs for athletes.
The goals of the athletic training camp for high school students
are to become more educated in the profession when considering
college options and provide campers with basic skills needed to
assist their high school athletic teams.
