They are designed for families with a member or members with any type of disability. They last for about four days and include wonderful sports activities, crafts, support groups for parents, swimming, all meals. You stay in a hotel room or cabin with your child. But in the morning a trained helper comes to get your child and stays with your child all day while they are in their group. The helper takes a small break in the afternoon and then is with your child for the rest of the day until bedtime. It is a wonderful way to go on a vacation as a family or part of a family and still get a break for yourself. When I went with my adult daughter with aspergers, they put her in the high school group and it was perfect for her. They offer free haircuts for the entire family and free massages.
