TBI Camps
AHIF currently provides two types of camps to its clients across the state.
Recreational TBI Camps - AHIF offers recreational camps that provide survivors with a special and unique time of recreation and fellowship. Currently, AHIF offers a week-long camp each year in late Summer at Camp ASCCA in Jackson's Gap, AL, and a weekend camp at both Camp ASCCA and Camp McDowell.

Bright Ideas TBI Camp - AHIF offers this therapy-based camp initiative through partnerships with local colleges and universities. These camps are designed to help survivors and caregivers learn new strategies and initiatives that can help survivors and/or caregivers who might have stagnated in their recovery after several years have passed since their initial injury. |
