Weekend Retreats & Sleepovers
Developing individual skills through real-life activities
Grow in Independence While Having Fun
Our weekend retreats and sleepovers provide an opportunity to foster independent living skills in a real-life setting. We offer engaging activities in a safe environment for young adults while expanding their comfort zone and confidence as independent individuals. During these weekend retreats, activities can include grocery shopping, meal planning and preparation, housekeeping, personal hygiene, social skills, recreation and leisure skills. One key element? FUN.
Here is what one mom has to say:
“Once you see what it means to your child, you never want them to miss one! He has the opportunity to hang out with his friends in a safe, fun environment. The independent skills he has acquired through attending weekend retreats have been unbelievable! Such an incredible staff H.E.R.O.E.S. has that provides learning, independence, friendship and life skills in a fun environment! My son has so much fun he never wants to miss a weekend!”
