Brain Injury Association of Illinois - Camp and Retreat Program

The Brain Injury Association of Illinois is currently registering campers for the 2010 summer camp season. Camp FunZone is a camp for those who have an acquired brain injury and are between the ages of 7 and 21 (still enrolled within the school system as a student).
Wilderness Endeavor is a camp for those adults who have sustained an acquired brain injury and are 18 years and older.

Camp Dates:
Wilderness Endeavor - June 27 through July 3, 2010
Camp FunZone - June 27 through July 1, 2010

These two camps have been developed specifically for children, teens and adults who have sustained an acquired brain injury. The camp program offers campers an opportunity to participate in social and leisure activities in a structured setting under the supervision of trained staff.

The Brain Injury Association of Illinois is also offering a 3 day camp retreat for those Service Members of all Military branches/components who have sustained an acquired brain injury during their enlistment. The BIA of Illinois' Operation Brain Injury Freedom (OBIF) Retreat will provide participants an opportunity to learn more about brain injury, its impact on the individual and family members, meet with brain injury rehabilitation professionals, share personal experiences, and participate in sports/leisure and relaxation activities.
OBIF Retreat : June 27 - June 30, 2010
(OBIF Retreat Participants may have an opportunity to extend their stay)

 The number of participants for the three programs is limited. Reserve your spot today. The registration forms can be found at http://www.biail.org/.
