2004 BRIGHT Summer Program

BRIGHT needs your immediate feedback as we plan for our 2004 Summer Programs.   

Please click on the link to let us know your interest. We need to hear from folks who are interested in attending as soon as possible in order to know the amount of equipment to
request and to arrange for more therapists, if needed.

Tell Us If You Are Interested !!

Two Week Therapy Camp June 20-26 and / or August 22-27

Therapy Program includes:

  • Approximately 4 hours intense training each day

  • Custom Program designed in June and reviewed and improved in August

  • Feldenkrais Therapy plus Euro Team style therapy

  • Massage 

  • Balance and gait training, functional and neurological movement, and transitional exercise within a TheraTog Suit. 

  • Aqua therapy

  • Strength training with appropriate equipment including e-stim and treadmill

  • Therapeutic Horseback Riding (Hippotherapy)

  • Activity Based Therapy ala John McDonald/Christopher Reeves and the AmTryke

  • Training for the parents to continue their child's program at home.

  • Home use of TheraTogs and AmTrykes for those children who qualify. The TheraTogs portion of the program will be supervised by the developer herself, Billi Cusick, in June.

  • Follow-up and tracking of results through the summer on BRIGHT's on-line therapy database.  Review your child's progress graphically against the GMFM Performance Curve.

Optional fun activities are available. For the June session, some are free and include access to
the pool 2 hours per day and access to all the playgrounds and nature trails on the site. Others will be between $5-15 per activity. Possible activities include a hayride, boat tour, tree climb/zip wire, horseback riding and a dinner for the parents (respite care provided for the children).

It is recommended (but not required) that you attend both weeks as custom programs for each child will be implemented in June and then followed-up and improved in August.  However, follow-ups through private visits or video consultations are also possible.

August Program Location Information:

The August program will be held in a three star waterpark resort hotel.  Meals are not included.  The waterpark is great for kids under 6 but will be tame for older kids.  Not to worry because the area has many additional waterpark and other amusement activities.
