Newsmakers: DAR recognizes Sharpe




The Judge David Campbell Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution presented physical therapist Lindsey Sharpe with the Community Service Award at its Feb. 14 meeting.

Through her work with at Children’s Hospital at Erlanger children, Sharpe saw a need for children with disabilities to experience life without limitations and co-founded Camp Horizon with her late husband, Steven Sharpe, in 2005.

For one weekend each year, Sharpe invites campers to go swimming, canoeing, horseback riding and more with other youth with similar issues. High school campers can also experience the region’s only handicap-accessible zip line. There is no cost to the campers or their families.

Eleven campers participated during the first weekend in 2005; the camp grew to 44 campers in 2019. The camp is staffed by volunteers consisting primarily of therapy staff from Erlanger Children’s Hospital and physical and occupational therapy students from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Several doctors and nurses also volunteer to be at the camp the entire weekend. Learn more at www.camp-horizon.com.
