Adult Retreat 2018

Celebrate the end of summer at SBRN's annual Empowerment Retreat for Adults with Disabilities from Friday-Sunday, September 14-16 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, 2055 Lincoln Highway, Edison NJ.

This year's theme is Life, Amplified.             

 

The retreat is an interactive and fun event designed for adults with disabilities to explore and experience increased independence, socialization, self-esteem and overall growth through such topics as health/wellness, relationships/intimacy, advocacy and others.

This year, we are collecting a nominal registration fee to help cover the cost of space and speakers. A limited number of scholarships are available for those who wish to attend but can not cover the cost of registration. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.
