During this camp, students will explore the fields of Nutrition and Sports medicine. They will learn to adopt a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and physical activity.
In the morning sessions, these future dietitians will learn about healthy eating habits, the food pyramid, and global foods. Students will create tasty recipes and snack combinations.
In the afternoon sessions, students will explore the roles of an athletic trainer and orthopedic surgeon and learn how to diagnose and treat common sports injuries such as sprains, strains, and athletes' foot. These future healthcare professionals will explore the famous Tommy John (arm & elbow) surgery and make models of a hand, joint, and tendon.
