Morphology

rehabilitation + camp

The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'rehabilitation' (therapeutic recovery) combined with 'camp' (a place where people stay temporarily) clearly yields a place or program for rehabilitation. This noun-noun combination follows productive English compounding patterns and is likely inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Rehabilitation camp uses rehabilitation (helping someone get stronger) and camp (a place where people stay and work together). Picture patients or athletes doing daily exercises and therapy in a group, so it means a program or place where people go to 'get stronger and move better' after injury or illness.
