Sanitar Training Program

This year in camp we will be instituting a new program. Campers that are interested in gaining knowledge in first aid and medicine are encouraged to apply for admission to the Sanitar Training Program. This program will allow hands-on training with the official camp sanitar . The requirement for consideration into the program is very simple. The camper must be at least 16 years of age and at minimum be certified in CPR. Certification can be obtained through numerous outside or school programs, or by attending this years OPIOP CPR/AED/First Aid Course that will be given on March 17.

Applicants must show a high level of maturity and have an understanding of privacy guidelines. Campers in the program will have the opportunity to provide care for minor trauma and medical issues under the supervision of the official sanitar. Participants will be exposed to the daily routine of the sanitar. They will have the opportunity to learn about trauma, infectious diseases, medications, prevention and treatments. The program will run throughout the course of the camp season. Depending on the amount of interested individuals, applicants may be selected for participation for one week at a time.

This is a work in progress and some of the training opportunities may be changed or added as the program progresses.

If you are interested in the program or have any questions please feel free to contact Danya: pomracs@aol.com
