Un-Limb-ited Amputee Camp
|
The Un-Limb-ited Camps are staffed by members of
physical and recreational therapy, nursing and
prosthetics, offering a unique opportunity for high
school aged young adults ages 13-17 with
amputation, to learn adapted skiing and
snowboarding or experience white water river running
and camping in the Utah wilderness. Participants will
receive professional instruction and through
additional activities, campers will have opportunities
to interact with both their peers and staff members.
As a group, they will explore issues common to
teenage amputees while developing skills for future
success.

Camp and Shriners Hospital
The Un-Limb-ited Amputee Activity Camp is made
possible by Shriners Hospitals for Children and our
sponsors. Our organization has a history of serving
individuals ages 0-18 with disabilities, including those
with amputations regardless of patient or patient
family’s ability to pay. Un-Limb-ited focuses on young
adults by encouraging them to better understand the
use of their prosthetics through activities and sports.
Camp also provides the opportunity to discuss with
staff and peers issues common to teenage amputees.
Shriners Hospital for Children seeks to help its
patients reach their full potential beyond treating their
orthopedic conditions, by helping patients adjust to
their current disability through skills training, and
recreational and therapeutic activities.
