Our Respite program provides short-term relief for children and adults ages five and up with developmental or physical disabilities. We give families and caregivers a much-needed break while offering an exciting and safe environment for our participants to enjoy with friends. The Respite program consistently focuses on four core competencies: recreation, leisure, education, and having fun! The Respite program is offered at Camp Friendship in Annandale and Camp Eden Wood in Eden Prairie.
