Eligibility

Any person who is mentally or physically impaired, who possesses basic self-care skills, enjoys group activities, and does not have severe behavioral problems is welcome.

Although Roman Catholic in nature, the retreat is open to persons of all faiths.

Programs and Retreat Facilities

The retreat consists of several activities geared to the spiritual, social and recreational needs of special education students, youths and adults and is held at Camp Twin Lakes. Twin Lakes is a recreation area in Rutledge, Georgia, devoted solely to the needs of those with disabilities. Steep slopes, steps, uneven walks and narrow doorways have been eliminated, allowing full access to the facilities.

The emphasis during the weekend will be spiritual. Morning and Evening prayer will be part of each day and Mass will be celebrated on Sunday.
