G.I.F.T.S. offered it's first official Get-Away Retreat the summer
of 2001! This retreat drew on the experience of Hickory
Hill Family Camping Resort, which has hosted families for the
past 40 years and set up wellness day retreats for groups with special
needs for the last 5 years.
Even more
programming is being offered this year. We are so excited about
the over whelming positive responses that we have received from
participating families and helpers.
