Are you or a member of your family/friend circle a stroke survivor?

Life is a journey...and sometimes there are unexplained and unpredictable changes. Some of the changes are immediate and others require a new beginning. Recovery from a stroke (or living with a stroke survivor) requires courage, patience, love, and support from family, friends, and the community.

Retreat & Refresh Stroke Camp strives to offer an enjoyable and fun-filled weekend with other stroke survivors, caregivers, and family members throughout the United States with the emphasis on education, socialization, relaxation, and support.

Welcome to the Retreat & Refresh family! We hope you and your family member(s) will visit our website often as you travel the ever-challenging post-stroke journey.

The Retreat & Refresh Stroke Camp website https://strokecamp.org provides information and resources offering a better understanding of stroke while helping survivors move forward and begin anew.

Our website contains helpful information including:
        - Links to this blog
        - Video clips
        - Resources 
        - Recommended reading materials 
        - Calendar of camps and events
        - Registration form for campers and volunteers
        - Photo gallery from each camp

And much more that will provide a greater understanding of stroke and its continuous challenges. Online visitors will find value in this website.

Also, be sure to visit www.strikeoutstroke.com for stroke awareness events near you, and www.unitedstrokealliance.org for much more information.

Update To We are seeking interested volunteers

 








*****************************************************************




*****************************************************************

If you have attended a camp in the past but don't find it listed today on our website please know we are working with our sponsors to organize and fund it, but due to the pandemic some areas are not yet ready to give us the go-ahead.

*****************************************************************

We are seeking interested volunteers who want to make a difference in the lives of others by joining us for a weekend retreat for Family Stroke Camp. This unique event is July 29-August 1, 2021 at Lutheran Outdoor Ministry Center in Oregon Illinois (just under a two hour drive from Peoria. The weekend will allow us to host families who are raising children and one parent has had a stroke. Volunteers do not need medical experience and will not need to do any patient care, but join us to partner with campers as they swim, fish, zip line, enjoy meals, enjoy walks, help with crafts, participate in discussion groups, play games, and enjoy socialization. Ideal volunteers simply love helping people. Volunteers are not paid monetarily, but their weekend includes accommodations, meals, camp t-shirt, participation in activities, and memories to last a lifetime. High School and College students qualify. Please consider joining us this year. For more information, follow the information on the flyer. The video linked here is a look into a Stroke Camp weekend, take a look and give it some thought.
