Celebrating Summer at Camp Schurig

Welcome to “Camp Schurig”!

Our Therapeutic Program participants recently enjoyed a day of traditional, FUN summer camp activities at “Camp Schurig!”

Participants started the day by following the trail of “bear paw prints” leading them to our “Base Camp” where the magic began!

Everyone (including staff) had to choose a unique “camp name” for the day. Campers enjoyed lunch on the patio followed by an action-packed day filled with awesome back-country games and activities, such as making tie-dye t-shirts, “fishing for prizes,” a wet and wild water balloon toss, and a “campfire” sing-a-long and stories by flashlight! And, of course, campers feasted on everyone’s favorite campsite treat…s’mores!

Planned at the suggestion of our Therapeutic Program participants, our Summer Camp Day was a wonderful way for us to socialize as a group and enjoy the fresh air and great outdoors here in beautiful Larkspur!

Through the experience of “Camp Schurig,” participants were able to reap the benefits of camping by refreshing and renewing their bodies, minds and spirits outdoors. The day also provided the opportunity for participants to practice interpersonal communication, active listening and social skills while promoting creativity and self-expression.

A great day was had by all!

Big, big thanks to all of our awesome volunteers
who helped made this special day happen!

Volunteer Spotlight: Paul Miller

Schurig Center for Brain Injury Recovery has been fortunate to have Paul Miller share his talent and enthusiasm for art as a weekly volunteer in our Art Studio for many years.

Paul was the Marin Independent Journal’s editorial cartoonist in the late 1960’s, later was the editorial and sports cartoonist for the Novato Advance for most of the 1970’s, has done cover cartoons for the Pacific Sun, and worked as a cartoonist illustrator for the Tiburon Ark. He has also had cartoons published in the San Francisco Chronicle as an “Image to the Editor” contributor.

A former Marine and a UCLA graduate, Paul taught a cartooning course in the College of Marin’s Art Department, where he was a full time faculty member in the English and Communications Departments for four decades.

Paul’s paintings and drawings can be found in private collections throughout the United States and abroad in France, London, and India.

The community at Schurig Center is deeply grateful for Paul’s dedication and contribution made over many years. He is a Marin Country treasure who has truly enriched the lives of many. Thank you, Paul!
