About Deliver the Dream
The Experience
Through creative programming in retreat venues set in beautiful natural surroundings, Deliver the Dream's Retreat Program offers families the therapeutic benefits that come from respite, relaxation, recreation, and the opportunity to bond with others experiencing similar challenges. Families get the chance to:
- Reconnect with themselves and their families
- Enjoy fun, recreational activities that create and nurture a spirit of family and togetherness. Depending on the venue, recreation activities include a combination of rock wall climbing, hiking, canoeing, fishing, archery, swimming and arts and crafts. For those seeking solitude, ample time is provided for just sitting by a majestic waterfall, strolling through a garden, or enjoying the views from a rocking chair.
- Participate in imaginative exercises intended to strengthen individual and family coping skills. Workshops include music, art, role playing, live performance arts, separate discussion groups for mothers, fathers, and siblings, and a variety of other sessions tailored to meet the specific needs of those attending the retreat. Many of these workshops incorporate components that help participants learn new ways to understand and express their feelings.
- Draw from common experiences of other families coping with similar challenges.
There's no pressure and no lecturing ...just an opportunity to relax, reconnect, and reflect on life's little treasures.
