Camp: Not Just for Summer Anymore

mardi 17 septembre 2019 à 15:30–17:00 PDT
Session Description (for use in the program and for marketing purposes)

Children's Healthcare of Atlanta coordinates 8 week-long, diagnosis-specific overnight summer camps for children and teens age 7-18.  Most people are familiar with summer camps and their benefits, but how are these campers served throughout the rest of the year?  This session will take a deeper look at the year-round programs offered by the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Camp Program.  These include a program for teens and young adults with spina bifida where participants learn about independence and leadership, an in-hospital program where patients can participate in camp activities in treatment areas or at the bedside, weekend family camps where families of summer campers can experience the magic of camp, and teen retreats where campers with amputations and limb deficiencies learn primitive camping and leadership skills.  This session will include information and justification for each program, as well as hands on activities and discussions.
