The secret to the success of Bátor Tábor – beside the fantastic team of volunteers – is the methodology of therapeutic recreation (TR) that weaves through each of our programs.
“I learned at Bátor Tábor that whatever illness I have, nothing is impossible.”
Since 2001, we have been providing life-changing experiences, strength and tools for the life and recovery of chronically ill children and their families.
Our camp is not a camp in the classical sense.
We move children out of their comfort zone with special experiences/adventures, so they recognize that by overcoming their fears, they are able to face not only the tasks awaiting them during the programmes, but also their illness.
How do we do all this?
By the method of therapeutic recreation (TR).
In addition to millions of laughter, the effectiveness of the method was confirmed by Yale University’s 2014 research: according to the survey, 70-80 % of children’s self-confidence and self-esteem grew after the camp, their relationship and social skills improved, and their faith in recovery got stronger as well.
This methodology that is based on the successful completion of challenges and on positive affirmations, does not only work in Bátor Tábor but it can make magic in the classroom, on an excursion, or even at home.
We will show you how you can create the Bátor Tábor spirit in a workshop or during a game!
