Epilepsy Retreat (All Ages)
All Ages Welcome for Outdoors Fun at Camp Tumbleweed

July 14, 2012
Camp Tumbleweed, Los Angeles, CA
We are planning a day for everyone -- children, teen, adults, and families to enjoy outdoors activities and connect with other individuals affected by epilepsy:

  • For Shining Stars & their Families: Families of children with epilepsy can enjoy a day at camp, a kind of family retreat. Parents get to meet other parents and learn from each other and from the presentations, siblings get connected with other siblings, and children with epilepsy get to make friends with their peers.  
  • For our Shining Star Teens: Teens with epilepsy are invited to an adjoining campground to hang-out with their peers, try some rock-climbing, sports, swimming, and team building activities.  
  • For our Adult Network: Adults with epilepsy are invited to retreat to this woodsy canyon and enjoy a day away to embrace a new challenge, like rock climbing or challenge course, to swim, to create, and to learn, while being with your peers.
