Craig Family Weekend Retreat | Therapeutic Recreation Adventure Trip

Happy Father's Day from Craig!
Recently, our therapeutic recreation team took Craig grads and their families on an unforgettable trip to the YMCA of the Rockies Snow Mountain Ranch. This family retreat provided a much-needed opportunity for families to reconnect and share their experiences.
Throughout the weekend, we saw amazing growth and connection among the families. There was a unique comfort in being around others who understood their experience, allowing them to relax and be themselves without needing to explain. Whether it was through adaptive equipment or just being together, everyone participated and, even more importantly, had fun!
