Camping
At Inspiration Retreat Center, camping takes many different forms. There are summer camp sessions, off-season respite care camps, outdoor education options, and now Travel Tours. Travel Tours mesh a road-trip, sightseeing, and spiritual renewal and refreshment all in one. The Tours are special because often people with disabilities never get to go on vacation. While their traditional camp opportunities are welcome breaks from life, the Tours allow people to see many different parts of the countryside, helping them understand and appreciate the world in a new way.
