Held each year and sponsored by the Therapeutic Recreation (TR) branch. The Summit is a great opportunity to share new ideas about programming for individuals with special needs, new twists on old ideas, hands-on learning, networking, and just plain fun.
Annual TR Summit
Tuesday, August 18 - Friday, August 21, 2009
Camp For All (Click for directions to camp)
Burton, TX
You will have the opportunity to interact with the majority of the speakers and your colleagues outside sessions to further exchange ideas and address additional questions and concerns related to your programs. You will also have the experience of spending several days at Camp For All multimillion dollar camp designed and built for those with disabilities. It is a phenomenal facility with many adaptations in the numerous program areas that will give you ideas for your own programs.
BRING: Sheets, blanket or sleeping bag, your favorite pillow and towels. Pack your personal items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, hairdryer, etc. Your bathing suit will come in handy as the pool and hot tub will be open for use in the evenings plus there are aquatic sessions. All cabins, dining room, and meeting areas are air conditioned and can get quite cold; in the past participants have found a sweatshirt or sweater to come in handy. The dining room is open 24 hours a day with a juice bar, peanut butter, dry cereal and bread.
DRESS: Casual!!! You will be at camp after all. Just remember that the meeting rooms can be cold.
