18th Annual Tourette Syndrome Family Camp & Silent Auction
Meeting/Networking for Pennsylvania Tourette Syndrome Alliance, Inc.Jun 07, 2024 1:00 PM to Jun 09, 2024 12:00 PM
Our 18th Annual Tourette Syndrome Family Camp is scheduled for June 7-9, 2024 at Black Rock Retreat in Quarryville, PA. This amazing event helps families get together to learn from each other and develop a supportive network. Parents attend workshops with experts in the field to learn more about the diagnosis and how to help their child. Children with TS and their siblings attend fun camp actvities while they get to know each other and make friends.
This is often the first time a child with TS will meet someone their age who also has TS. Many children come to camp feeling anxious or shy and it is amazing to see how they change in just one weekend. They meet so many other people who have Tourette and see how understanding everyone is. They don't have to be self-consious about their symptoms and they can drop their guard. (Often they get stares and comments when in the community--due to misunderstood symptoms.)
Our event is only possible because of sponsors who generously donate to help families attend this program. We also offer full or partial scholarships because we don't want any family to miss this life-changing event due to costs. Last year 48% of our attendees were there are full scholarship!
