AMR Signature Events
Mommy & Me Trips
FL*Ga*MI*MO*NC*NJ*TN

Mommy & Me trips are an AMR signature and annual respite offering.   

Our Mommy & Me trips give you three to four nights away, in a magical setting, to reconnect and make special memories with your "neuro-typical" children. 

 

Since our first trip to the Jekyll Island Club Resort in 2018, these trips have become a cherished time away for special needs moms and their *non*-disabled children, or even with their own mom!  Moms & typical daughters/sons or Moms and their own moms.   Two special needs mom or caregiver friends.  Adoptive/foster moms, caregiving wives/partners, and those caring for their aging parents are welcome!    

 

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

 

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,  Ft. Pierce, FL, and Palatka, FL.

When you are caregiving full time for a loved one with extra needs, it can be all consuming.  That individual's needs often dictate what/when/how/where everything the family does.   It's your "normal", but that doesn't make it ideal.  It is very easy for us as parents to leave the more self-sufficient ones to themselves.  It's easy to get wound up in our own fatigue and busy-ness and to slack on nurturing that all-important one-on-one relationship every child craves.
