SPRING Retreat –May 16-18th, 2025 (Lake Wylie area)

The Adult Weekend Retreat is a 3-day/2-night overnight camp experience for all adults with Down syndrome, ages 18 and above. The Retreats occur two times per year on location near Lake Wylie in South Carolina. The Retreats also offer a 3:1 participant-to-counselor ratio. The counselors support the vocational trainings and work closely with the adult participants to provide the best experience possible! We also welcome other adults with intellectual disabilities to join us if space allows.

Adult participants will focus on increasing self-confidence and independence through individual, small group and large activities and vocational projects throughout the weekend.

The adult campers will also have the opportunity to participate in camp activities like Canoeing, Kayaking, Hiking, Fishing, Ziplining, Team Building, Rope Courses, Slip ‘N Slide, a Dance Party, and a Campfire with S’mores.

This Spring Camp, we will have a special opportunity to groom, feed and paint horses with the YMCA Equestrian group guided by trained staff and supported by counselors.
