At Paramedic Camp, our primary focus is to equip young minds with the essential skills and knowledge needed to make a difference in emergency situations.

Throughout the camp, participants will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of topics, including CPR, wound care, splinting, patient assessment, and much more. As they progress, those who demonstrate proficiency and dedication may even have the chance to pursue additional certifications. By the end of the three weeks, successful participants can proudly earn a First Responder or Emergency Medical Responder certificate, solidifying their commitment to saving lives and their readiness to handle emergencies.

Paramedic Camp is not just about learning medical skills, it's also about fostering teamwork, leadership and personal growth.

EMA Licensing Board Minimum Age Information

The Emergency Medical Assistants Licensing Board has the following policy in place for the registration of emergency medical assistants (EMAs) under the age of 19:

  • No emergency medical assistant licences will be issued to applicants under the age of 16;
  • All licence holders that are 16 to 18 years old must be supervised by a fully licensed EMAs of the same level or higher who is at least 19 years old. This term and condition is removed when a licence holder turns 19.

This does not mean you cannot get a First Responder or Emergency Medical Responder certification if you're below 16, it just means that you can't go on to do your EMA Licensing Board Exams and work on an ambulance until you meet the above requirements for minimum age.
