Camps

At Camp To Be Independent, kids with traumatic brain injuries can just be kids. Camp TBI is Walton Foundation for Independence’s annual weeklong, spend-the-night camp offered at no cost for children and young adults (ages 10-21) with disabilities resulting from a traumatic brain injury, including: Injuries at birth, Stroke, Brain tumors, and Trauma.

Launched in 2000 as part of its mission to provide opportunities for young adults and children with acquired disabilities in this region, the camp provides a safe, medically supervised environment—with a 1:1 or 1:2 counselor ratio—where kids can just have fun.

Camp TBI is held annually at Camp Twin Lakes in Rutledge, Ga., a fully accessible campsite featuring: spacious cabins, gym and amphitheater, medical lodge, media center with a teaching center and photography room, an arts center for dance and drama, a library, arts and crafts building, an accessible playground and pool, riding ring, biking paths, climbing wall, zip line and more.

Families will have the chance—perhaps for the first time ever—to be there when their child or sibling does the impossible, from soaring on a zip line to climbing a ropes course. Walton Family Weekend is open to families in the CSRA where either the parent or the children of the parent have a physical disability. Children age 6 to 18 are eligible with a parent or guardian in attendance.

This weekend is designed to promote accessible leisure opportunities where a family member typically experiences a physical barrier as a result of the disability. Space is limited for our Family Weekend!
