Respite (Weekend Ventures)
What is Weekend Ventures?
Weekend Ventures is a weekend (or overnight) respite program that takes place 6 times each year. Depending on the weekend, we stay overnight 1 or 2 nights at a hotel or a camp. Each weekend has one main activity that the group does together. See our Respite/Weekend Ventures website page for more information.
Softball season creates some great memories, as highlighted in this video produced by JZ Productions!
