Working on 2014 Summer Activities - if you have something you would like us to add, please let us know!
Free Family Camp Weekend! - Located in Scottsville, Kentucky (near Bowling Green), the Barren Heights Christian Retreat focuses on giving families that have children with physical or developmental disabilities a time away to "relax, rest and rejuvenate." And yes, it is FREE! Each retreat weekend is Friday through Sunday and has plenty of activity to keep the kids happy while providing for much needed relaxing time for parents. Again, it is FREE but you have to sign up. They take 3 families per weekend and each family has their own cabin. When you sign up you'll pay a $50 deposit that is refundable once you complete your weekend (or you can donate it if you want to). Here is their website - take a look! www.barrenheights.com
