Hello, my name is Alyssa Gale. I am a Specialist in the Recreation Therapy department at Bradford Woods in Martinsville, Indiana. Bradford Woods is Indiana University's Outdoor Center (housed within the Recreation, Park, and Tourism Studies Department) and supported by the Riley Children's Foundation and Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.
Bradford Woods operates 10 weeks of summer camp for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses including campers with: cancer, sickle cell anemia, cerebral palsy, cranial facial anomalies, hearing difficulties, severe burn survivors, autism, various physical disabilities, rare genetic disorders, and Down Syndrome.
We hire a staff of 80+ individuals and are currently recruiting for the summer of 2014. Bradford Woods has proven to be an excellent opportunity for students in the fields of Nursing, Therapeutic Recreation, Allied Health, Adaptive physical education, Speech Therapy, Outdoor Education, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and many other areas of study. Bradford Woods has also served as an internship and practicum site for many students. We welcome the opportunity to examine this type of partnership with the professors and students within your department.
Because of the strong therapeutic recreation mindset of Bradford Woods, it is my hope to fill most of our summer camp positions with people who see the need and importance of adaptive recreation. We seek to not only provide a great experience for our campers, but also want to help students develop their skills and gain knowledge working with numerous populations of campers in a high energy camp setting.
Please read and share the information in this e-mail with students, other faculty and anyone you feel would appreciate this opportunity. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail or call me personally at aegale@indiana.edu or 765-349-1086 x5214.
Thank you for your time,
Alyssa Gale
