Students Volunteer at Camp Koinonia

The College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences Department of Kinesiology, Recreation, and Sports Studies associate professor Angela Wozencroft teaches classes in Therapeutic Recreation.  Part of her job also includes serving as the program director for Camp Koinonia; a camp for children ages 7-21 with various intellectual and development disabilities.

At a camp that has been held annually in Crossville, TN for forty years, students have the opportunity to work with the children on a one-on-one basis as a counselor or activities staff. They gain not only experience working with someone with a disability, but many times a friend for life.  Typically students who attend the camp go through Recrecation/Sports Management 326 class to gain the training and skills needed.
