About this Event

The fast pace of the holidays isn’t always easy.
Many of us have experienced loss, illness and other personal traumas in our families and it makes the holiday season feels MoRE like an endurance test.
This weekend getaway gives us time to reflect, calm down and enjoy the company of other people with similar experiences who just simply “get it”.
The weekend gives lots of opportunities to bond with your own family and make new friendships or just hangout and reflect on your own time. You can just relax in the tranquil surroundings or enjoy the workshops, activities and crafts we have designed for you.
Provided at no cost to families coping with grief, loss, illness and trauma. Children ages 6 and up are welcomed. We have many teens and young adults who enjoy the weekend too.
