Joni and Friends Family Retreats provide a lifeline to families who want hope and encouragement that will last. You and your family will be blessed, inspired, and make new friendships that will last a lifetime. At both U.S. and International Family Retreat, special-needs families receive encouragement and care in the comfort of a safe and accessible family camp environment. They enjoy fun and fully-accessible, age-appropriate activities, along with meaningful conversations with families who understand the challenges of life with disability. The success of a Family Retreat depends not only on the leadership and programming, but on the distinctly Christian community which is carefully nurtured in order for families to feel blessed and supported.
Throughout the year Joni and Friends will host 25 Family Retreats in 18 different locations around the country. Camps provide sessions for moms, dads, couples, kids, youth, and families. Each retreat location is unique in the services and amenities offered. The closest camps to Chattanooga are Dayton, TN and Nauvoo, AL.
Note to Tennessee Families: Family Support has a history of paying for at least a portion of this camp under the Respite category.
