BIA of Illinois 2010 Camps

Wilderness Endeavor (ages 22 and older)   
June 27 - July 3, 2010

Camp FunZone (ages 7 - 21)
June 27 - July 1, 2010

The Brain Injury Association of Illinois will be hosting its camp
program during the week of June 27, 2010. This year, all camps will be
held during the same week. Each camp will have its own separate camp
area and counselors at Timber Pointe Outdoor Center. Each camp will have
its own specific programming and activities during the week. The BIA of
Illinois camps have been developed specifically for individuals who have
sustained a brain injury, and the programming and activities reflect
that focus.

Some of our activities during the week will include, fishing, canoeing,
horseback riding, swimming, field & target games, and arts & crafts. In
addition, we will have movie night, casino/games night, talent show and
the favorite of all, the annual awards dinner and dance. For the first
time ever, we are offering the Ropes course (high and low courses)
during camp! Each camper is assigned a counselor who will work directly
with them during the camp. Medications and medical needs will be
addressed by the camp nurse who is available onsite during the week.

The Brain Injury Association of Illinois is able to provide volunteer
opportunities for college students who are pursuing studies related to
brain injury rehabilitation and professionals working in the field of
rehabilitation. Please contact the office if your college class or
rehabilitation team is interested in volunteering during the 2010 camp
program.

We are in need of camp sponsors, and there are many ways you can support
our campers. Please consider becoming a camp sponsor today.

Contact the office if you are interested in sponsoring a specific camper
or being a camp sponsor.
