Camp Koinonia Information

The Therapeutic Recreation program at the University of Tennessee is pleased to announce Camp Koinonia 2007. We are so excited to offer this outdoor, educational experience for children with multiple disabilities again this year.

The camp is a six-day residential program that provides children with disabilities the opportunity to experience canoeing, horseback riding, arts and crafts, music and movement, cooking, sports and games, and other fun activities. Camp Koinonia allows children to interact with University of Tennessee students, as well as their own peers. This is a wonderful way to enhance positive social interaction and develop new friendships. Camp Koinonia provides both the campers and staff “an experience that lasts a lifetime!”

In order to participate, the children must meet certain criteria. These criteria are:

  • Individuals must be between the ages of 7 and 22;
  • Individuals must be classified as having more than one disability;
  • Individuals must not present severe behavioral problems; and
  • Individuals must have had little or no opportunities to attend other camp programs

Please note: Applicants requiring significant, advanced medical care and/or who present severe behavioral problems are subject to review by camp administration and medical personnel prior to acceptance for camp.

There are a limited number of spaces available for camp. It is in your child’s best interest to return the registration form, application, and medical form as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at (865) 974-4363 or (865) 974-1288. We look forward to having your child at Camp Koinonia 2007! Thank you for your interest in our program.
