The North Carolina District will partner with BIANC to support the 2009
Traumatic Brian Injury (TBI) Camp (September 11-13, Stokesdale NC) for
the 2009-2010 District Project.
The goal of the District Project is to have every club in the District include
participation in Camp Carefree in their 2009-2010 Plans of work. Clubs
can choose to from several options listed below under “Procedure” to
tailor the project to their club and member’s interest.
The purpose of the project will be to:
1. Educate the public about brain-related disorders, specifically
Traumatic Brain Injury, through camp materials and publicity;
2. Provide North Carolina Pilots an opportunity to perform hands-on
service with TBI survivors and their families;
3. Bring visibility to TBI, BIANC, Pilot Clubs and the District;
4. Establish a foundation and relationship with BIANC and explore the
possibility of expanding this project and Pilot sponsorship in the future.
The procedure for club participation will be:
Option 1: Donate Craft Supplies and Prizes:
1. Decorative craft ideas include:
- Wooden picture frames
- T-shirts or hats
- Small plant and pot that can be decorated and taken home for the
camper to nurture
2. Prize ideas include:
- Small blankets
- Healthy snacks
- Items to encourage exercise (pedometers, balance balls, etc.)
- Nutritional books
- Motivational items
Option 2: Monetary Donation:
Clubs can elect to support Camp Care Free through a monetary donation
of their choice.
- Donations would pay for the actual costs of camp and would be
applied towards items like camp rental, insurance, golf cart rental
for transporting campers, T-shirts, food and chef, medical and
program supplies.
Option 3: Sponsor a Camper:
It costs $150 to send one survivor to camp for the weekend. The BIANC
only charges campers and their family members $20 and this is to
ensure they attend after they register.
- Clubs can sponsor one (or more) campers for a donation of $150
per camper they’d like to sponsor.
Option 4: Provide Hands-On Service during Camp:
Volunteers are needed all weekend to support Camp Carefree. Clubs or
individual members can participate in many different ways during camp:
- Cabin set up and assignments
- Registration activities
- Coffee detail
- Trash pick up and disposal
- Food preparation, set up and serving
- Activity monitor for camper events during the weekend (arts and
crafts, outdoor living, fishing and canoes, ropes course, bingo,
singing and bonfire in the evening, band and dance in the
evening, Sunday morning service)
