Stroke Camp

A Camping Experience for Stroke Survivors &Their Caregivers

Retreat and Refresh Stroke Camp provides an opportunity for stroke survivors, caregivers and family members to experience a camping weekend. Activities are designed specifically for campers offering opportunities for education, socialization, relaxation and support.
