Week of Fun for Survivors to attend Camp
The BIA-MO Donald Danforth Jr. Wilderness Camp is a weeklong, overnight camp for survivors of brain injury. The focus is to provide recreational opportunities for survivors of brain injury to overcome challenges of new activities and to spend social time with others who truly understand brain injury. In addition, family members and caregivers have a week of respite from daily responsibilities, by staying home.
The actual cost for each BIA-MO Camper, including cabin accommodations, meals, program activities and counselor support, is about $550 per person. Through generous donations, the Camper Fee is only $390 per attending survivor of brain injury living in Missouri and $475 for non-Missouri residents. However, many Campers are in need of assistance with their portion of the Camp Fee.
Please be one of the generous donors to Sponsor-A-Camper to ensure every Camper who wants to attend has the financial support to do so. Your donation of $390 or more will provide Full Scholarship assistance for a Camper to enjoy a week of fun, relaxation and independence.
Transportation
Van transportation is offered from St. Joseph, Kansas City, Columbia and St. Louis. Campers pay only $25 to ride the van. The actual cost is closer to $100 per person. Your Camp donation of $25, $100 or the full $2,500 per transportation route will enable more survivors to be able to attend the BIA-MO Camp.
