Happenings at the BIA of Illinois in 2010

Please visit our website, http://www.biail.org/, to sign up for our free e-mail distribution list. This is a new communication system that we set up at the end of December to use in keeping everyone updated and informed with BIA of Illinois programs, services and events. If you have previously been on our e-mail lists, it is still important for you to sign up on this new list just to make sure we have updated e-mail addresses. This e-mail list is open to anyone. If you work in the field of brain injury rehabilitation, please consider sharing this with your patients, families and staff.

Camp dates have been set!
Camp FunZone -  June 27- July 1, 2010
Wilderness Endeavor - June 27 - July 3, 2010
This will be the first time that we have been able to schedule both camps at the same time! We are very excited to be able to do this. It will allow us more opportunities to share some of our new programs that have been developed. It also gives increased programming options for our teens and young adults. We are still working with some college programs around the state who want to participate in our camp program and learn about brain injury. If you and your rehabilitation team would like to volunteer at camp, please contact me for more details. Hopefully, we will be able to put the "Ropes" course in the camp program. Campers have been wanting to do this for awhile, and it looks like we have a tentative program in place.
