The Challenged Athletes Foundation® presents the Craig Hospital
Camp Discovery – July 15-18, 2010
Who:
Women from 20-years-old and up who have been affected by an injury or disease of the spinal cord (spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, polio, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spina bifida or other diseases), requiring the use of a wheelchair. The only prerequisites are an open mind, willingness to try new activities and desire to achieve. Participants should be in good physical condition and be able to participate in most activities.
What:
Camp Discovery helps women who have disorders of the spinal cord redefine themselves to live strong, productive and happy lives by:
- Building self-esteem
- Creating a personal network and support system
- Inspiring a positive body image
- Encouraging physical fitness
Why:
Camp Discovery is the place where you leave your limits behind and discover a new freedom. Our activities are designed to reach your mind, body and spirit, helping you tap into an inner peacefulness and place of confidence, security and self-acceptance. This two-and-a-half day, all women’s camp is designed to teach both mental and physical fitness, while creating lasting friendships with women who have had similar experiences and obstacles. It is your safe haven to have fun and be supported by others who understand your journey.
Open your mind to new possibilities. Grow. Achieve.
Support and be supported.
Camp Discovery is all about you and your next adventure.
