What is Camp BIAG?
We serve a therapeutic, recreational camp for adults 18+ who are survivors of brain injury. We offer a Caregiver Respite Camp held at the same time for their loved one. When you donate to camp, you can make a difference by giving campers courage, renewed strength, independence, self-determination, and a sense of community.
There are many ways to support our campers in a way that’s meaningful to you: Sponsor the dining room, a cabin, give to the scholarship fund, help with the cost of our many activity programs designed to meet the needs of all, including those with mobility challenges. Supply needs include bingo prizes, arts and crafts, and camp-certified medical staffing.
The cost of operating an in-person camp averages $35-40,000. Please consider making a tax free donation today by clicking HERE.
Camp BIAG is a unique, overnight camp experience designed specifically for adults (18+) with a designated brain injury. Camp BIAG is the most complete and cost-effective recreational and therapeutic program in the Southeast focused on the special needs of the brain injury community. Camp BIAG, in partner with Camp Twin Lakes, is run by a highly-trained staff that can address the unique medical and emotional needs of each camper. Camp sessions are called life-changing by our campers. Many share this is the one place where they feel, “I can just be me!”
What does that mean for brain injury survivors? Camp BIAG offers adults who have survived a brain injury – both ABI and TBI – an opportunity to have fun, to be with others who understand, and to engage fun recreational activities. This experience supports the healing process, helps reintroduce life skills, offers great socialization and enhances self-esteem. Planned activities allow survivors a time where they have fun like anyone else, while their caregivers can find quiet moments of respite.
What does Camp BIAG offer for caregivers? Caring for survivors of brain injury is never-ending. Camp BIAG allows caregivers an opportunity to take a weekend off to renew and recharge themselves. Camp BIAG is designed to renew the mind, body and spirit of all involved. Our goal is to help those who have brain injury and their caregivers to face future challenges with a new sense of support, courage and strength.
