Details
Schedule (Tentative): Each morning, debriefees will meet as couples or individuals with adult debriefing teams (of 2). At the same time, the kids will meet with a dedicated children’s debrief team. Parents will be updated on their kids and learn skills for helping their kids continue to process. Afternoons are for personal work/family time. Most evenings will have optional activities, except for the adults on Thursday evening. The kid’s debriefing is the only kid’s program but this is a kid-friendly location with a pool and other activities that can be accessed.
The cost covers food, housing & debrief. Costs vary by family size and are based on debriefees arriving on their own power Sunday afternoon July 27th and leaving after lunch on Friday August 1st. Families with kids under the age of 7 will need a nanny.
