The purpose of Camp Horizon is to allow kids with physical disabilities the opportunity to broaden their horizons by spending time with other kids in similar situations in the outdoor environment.

 

Each camper is paired up with a student volunteer for the duration of the weekend. Our volunteers are Doctoral candidates within the Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy programs at the University of Tennessee – Chattanooga.

 

Camp Horizon gives our student volunteers valuable hands-on experience in treating and handling the pediatric physical therapy patient population.

 

This relationship allows Camp Horizon to provide a safe and welcoming environment of learning and growth for both our campers and volunteers.
