The Camp Koinonia
Dear Parents,
The Therapeutic Recreation program at the University of Tennessee is
pleased to announce Camp Koinonia 2012, to be held April 15th - April 20th,
2012. We are so excited to offer this outdoor, educational experience for
children with multiple disabilities again this year.
The camp is a six-day residential program that provides children with
disabilities the opportunity to experience canoeing, horseback riding, arts and
crafts, music and movement, cooking, sports and games, and other fun
activities. Camp Koinonia allows children to interact with University of
Tennessee students, as well as their own peers. This is a wonderful way to
enhance positive social interaction and develop new friendships. Camp
Koinonia provides both the campers and staff “an experience that lasts a
lifetime!”
In order to participate, the children must meet certain criteria. These criteria
are:
Please note: Applicants requiring significant, advanced medical care and/or
who present severe behavioral problems are subject to review by camp
administration and medical personnel prior to acceptance for camp.
There are a limited number of spaces available for camp. It is in your child’s
best interest to return the registration form, application, and medical form as
soon as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at
(865) 974-4363 or (865) 974-1288. We look forward to having your child at
Camp Koinonia 2012! Thank you for your interest in our program.
Sincerely,
