Notes
Each year the TBI Program in collaboration with Easter Seals Tennessee Inc. sponsors a weekend and a weeklong camp for adult and youth survivors of brain injury. These camps focus on providing a unique social and recreational opportunity to persons with brain injury. Nestled between the banks of Old Hickory Lake and surrounded by protective woods, camp offers great outdoor fun. All cabins are fully accessible, air conditioned, and include accessible shower facilities. Camp activities include arts and crafts, swimming, hiking, games, boating, and a Saturday evening dance.
