Who is interested? What 'things' can UBPN do to bring TBPI to camp? I have not been in the last couple of years but am planning for my return in 2014 LOL! Here is a wonderful opportunity... tell us what you want :)

I was there for one of the days as a tbpi and felt completely included, it is just that most of the camp is geared toward obpi, so there isn't much tbpi specific things for "us" to do or feel like we have specific things for us to do. There are different issues that obpi vs. tbpi deal with and since most of the people coming are families with obpi children, the activities/talks/programs are more obpi child focused.

That is why Courtney is asking the question, what are the activities/talks/programs we can add that would be of enough interest to attract more tbpi'ers. Or better yet, what are the things tbpi'ers need the most help with and if there was content that addressed those issues, would people come?

Things like these:
Pain management experts?
Filing for and qualifying for disability?
Doing life with one arm adaptations?
