Brain Injury Association of Virginia’s Camp Bruce McCoy
Week 1: May 22 – 28
Week 2: May 29 – June 4

Camp Bruce McCoy is a nationally-recognized, 38-year-old residential summer camp and respite program for adult survivors of brain injury (18+) and their family members/caregivers.  Each day, campers choose from dozens of challenging and fun activities, including horseback riding, canoeing, team sports, and ropes challenge course, each specifically adapted to the camper’s abilities. These social recreational programs reduce the level of social isolation typical among persons with brain injury by providing access to a community of their peers – people who understand exactly what they are experiencing.
