Background: Southern Indiana Rehab Hospital (SIRH) provides stroke survivors with a fun-filled, enjoyable weekend at the annual Stroke Camp. Participants enjoy outdoor activities, led by trained professionals in a structured, accessible environment. They are able to socialize with others who have experienced a stroke, as well as learn about strokes, stroke recovery and readjustment into leisure activity. Each year SIRH welcomes 25 stroke survivors to the camp. Families are welcome to participate with their family member, but are not required to do so. Staffed with nurses, therapists and other hospital personnel, the campers are able to fish, enjoy hayrides and bonfires, arts and crafts activities and much more.
SIRH is sponsoring a community cookout and raffle to raise funds for this camp. The luncheon will be on Friday, August 21 from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Meal tickets are $6.00 per person and must be purchased no later than August 18, 2009. The menu for this year’s cookout includes: grilled chicken quarters, red potato salad, baked beans, desserts and drinks. Carry out is available.
The funds raised help defer the cost from campers. This year’s camp is September 17-20 at the Country Lake Christian Retreat Center in Henryville, IN. To purchase tickets for the luncheon and/or the raffle, call Rochelle Grant at (812) 941-6154.
