Bamberg-Ehrhardt to Host Rural Exposure Camp for Lowcountry Athletes

Bamberg-Ehrhardt High School will host the Rural Athletic Exposure Camp on May 2, 2026, giving top high school athletes from across the Lowcountry a chance to compete in front of college coaches, including representatives from Savannah State University and Lane College.

Local coach Corey Crosby is organizing the event, which brings college programs directly to Bamberg rather than requiring rural athletes to travel to larger markets for recruiting exposure. The camp is designed to showcase talent from the Lowcountry area, a region where high school athletes often face geographic disadvantages when it comes to visibility in the college recruiting process.

Savannah State and Lane College are among the programs listed as attending. Both are historically Black universities with active athletic programs, and their presence signals that the camp could carry real recruiting implications for participating athletes.

Specific sports, start times, registration requirements, and whether additional college programs beyond the two named will attend have not been confirmed. Athletes or families interested in participating should contact Bamberg-Ehrhardt High School's athletic department or reach out to Crosby directly for logistics and eligibility details.

The camp positions Bamberg-Ehrhardt as more than just a venue: it places a rural Lowcountry school at the center of a recruiting conversation that typically happens in larger cities, well beyond Bamberg County's borders.
