only camp
program in Illinois developed
specifically for
children and
adults who have
sustained an
acquired brain
injury. The BIA
of Illinois
hosts its camp
program at the Easter Seals
Timber Pointe

The camp
counselors and
program staff
are trained by
the BIA of
Illinois and
receive ongoing
support and
assistance
during camp from
BIA staff. In
addition to the
scheduled camp
activities,
campers
participate in
BIA programs
(Peer Outreach,
The Essentials,
and Advocacy
training). Each
camper is
assigned to
their own camp
counselor. A
camp nurse is
available round
the clock for
medication
administration
and medical
needs. The camp
program and
schedule
addresses
cognitive and
physical needs
of campers.
Each camper
application is
reviewed to
ensure the
camper is
appropriate for
the camp
program, and to
ensure that the
camper’s needs
can be safely
and
appropriately
met while at
camp. The camp
fee does not
include the
rental of
medical
equipment and
supplies that
may be needed by
the camper, nor
1:1 caregiver
coverage.
The
Camp Raffle is a way to support the BIA of Illinois camp program.
