Campers

Workshop

Join us at our bi-annual IABC Workshop at Camp Twin Lakes in Winder, Georgia from November 13th to November 16th, 2024!

The IABC Workshop is an opportunity for burn camp professionals to gather in fellowship and hear from industry experts and colleagues about current best practices in the burn camp industry.

Topics to be included in the 2024 workshop include:

  • Camp 101: Back to the Basics of burn camp after living through a global pandemic
  • Lessons learned after dealing with a major policy violation at camp
  • Mental health needs of specific campers: are all campers appropriate for your camp setting?

In addition to these important topics, attendees can expect to spend time singing camp songs and building camp community!  Camp Twin Lakes, which hosts the Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation’s Camp Ou-la-la, will open some of their activity stations to attendees so burn camp leaders can let loose and have fun!
