Welcome to CAMP Website
Baseline Testing dates to be announced
for Fall sports!
Scheduling is underway for school interested
in baseline testing of student athletes. In Massachusetts,
Fall sports such as football and soccer are permitted to begin
training in early to mid-August. It is recommended that
all athletes playing contact sports undergo baseline cognitive
evaluation as part of the pre-season physical examination
process. The CAMP program offers ImPACT testing for
schools and individuals via a web-based interface. It is
easy and fun. Concussion is a
serious problem for athletes and all students who return to
school following an injury affecting their brain.
Consultation with a neurologist or neuropsychologist is
recommended following a serious concussion. Repeated
concussion has been linked to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy
(CTE).
