Caregiver Respite Retreat-My Buddy Trips

AMR Signature Events
My Buddy Trips
FLMIMONCNJ*TN

My Buddy trips are an AMR signature and annual respite offering.

Sometimes "respite" can mean "a change of scenery". We started this new program in response to the need of moms who have no care coverage to also enjoy our amazing respite adventures! But it has turned into a very popular offering for all caregiving moms to make special memories and new friends with your challenged/disabled child or loved one.

Even more special and memorable for your child is the opportunity to make new friends with other kids who also have challenges.

Due to exploding demand, we have expanded these trips to include additional destinations in South Haven, MI, Branson, MO, the Outer Banks of NC, Ocean City, NJ, Pigeon Forge, TN, and St. Augustine, FL.
