Retreats

PossAbility Unlimited provides bi-annual retreats to serve individuals with traumatic spinal cord injuries and their caregivers.

Retreats include medical education, PT support, games, outdoor adventures, adapted sports, catered meals, special guests and events, and more! Each retreat is different and no retreat will be exactly the same in order to provide a variety of activities and new adventures.

The Indiana retreat is currently held in Martinsville, Indiana, just south of Indianapolis. Lodging is bunk-style in an adapted 1800’s mansion with 5-6 twin beds and a large accessible ADA bathroom in each room; shared rooms is a favorite feature of retreats. Individuals may attend on their own (if they are independent) or with a caregiver; no caregiving will be provided by PossAbility staff or volunteers.

BRAND NEW LOCATION:
Florida retreat is held in Miami and Homestead. Lodging is bunk-style with twin beds; there will be one cabin for guys and one for girls. There is one ADA accessible bathroom in each cabin and a detached bathhouse. Individuals may attend on their own (if they are independent) or with a caregiver; no caregiving will be provided by PossAbility staff or volunteers.
