2004 BRIGHT Summer Program

June Program:

The June program will be held in a summer camp like setting.  The facility has hotel style rooms with semi private baths as well as some cabins.  All the rooms are clean with simple furnishings.  The camp features home style meals, an indoor swimming pool, outdoor activities, campfires, etc.  This will be a great opportunity for parents of BRIGHT to get together to get to know each other, and enjoy themselves with some free time using the respite service included in the fun package.  If you choose the therapy program the facility offer excellent features.
