Variety’s Weekend Retreat program is a fun filled educational experience open to children and young adults ages 7-21 with a developmental and/or physical disability.
The retreat offers a wide variety of activities that help the child work on increasing his/her independence, find new interests and build new and maintain friendships in an inclusive environment.
Our goal is to have each camper leave us one step closer to independence and with increased self-confidence. Variety prides itself on being one of the only programs in the area capable of providing this experience for campers who need assistance with all levels of personal care, from those who require minimal assistance to those who require feeding tube, catheter care, and those who have seizure disorders and shunts. Variety’s experienced counselors and nursing staff are able to accommodate almost any need.
