Family Retreats - Deliver the Dream

Family Retreats

Deliver the Dream's Family Retreat program is our most popular and longest-running program.  During a Family Retreat, families will participate in therapeutic structured activities, such as indoor and outdoor recreational activities, discussion groups, interactive games, creative workshops, and team building exercises.  Ample time is provided for relaxation, connecting with new and supportive friends, and spending time with your loved ones.  Each retreat is based on a specific population and is a three-day, two-night weekend experience.  The Family Retreat program is intended to be a one-time experience which will allow us to maximize our impact and reach more families.
