Therapeutic Recreation

Therapeutic Recreation

Barretstown is designed to respond directly to the needs of a child living with a serious illness – both clinical and psychological. Our Therapeutic Recreation model is recognised by paediatricians and psychologists all over the world as an important and necessary component of a child’s treatment: the hospital treats the illness, we treat the child. The Therapeutic Recreation programme brings campers through a fun, activity-based process of challenge, success, reflection and discovery.
