I'm pretty excited about this. This DVD, owned, distributed and copyrighted by Retreat & Refresh Stroke Camp is due to be released March 1, and will be available to you on our Internet store: www.strokecampshop.org . The DVD is only $10 plus tax and shipping, and price breaks are available for people ordering quantities over 10 (call the Stroke Camp office for details at 877-688-5450).
You will get insights from survivors and caregivers, life affirming stories, educational and motivating testimonies, all this designed to uplift the spirits of those plunged into this life changing event called stroke.
This DVD was professionally made for us by ABS Productions, Denver Colorado. I have not reviewed this DVD in its present form but I have seen portions of some of the source videos. I will definitely be buying a copy for myself.
In addition to making them available to you, our intent is to get hospitals and other institutions interested in distributing this DVD with their other literature to stroke survivors and their caregivers as they are released from the hospital.
Take a look at some of the titles listed below and I hope it will pique your interest as it does mine. I copied the following information off a brochure developed by our camp staff: Marylee and Lauren.
