We invite you to come enjoy and learn at the University of Northern Colorado Athletic Training Camp.

Athletic Training is an exciting profession that is growing fast.

Athletic Trainers are employed in many settings, such as: high schools, clinics, college/universities and professional sports, as well as industrial settings.

We have a strong Athletic Training tradition here at the University of Northern Colorado.
