AMR Signature Events

In addition to our regular 3-night wellness retreats at our year-round inns and Porch Partners, AMR coordinates amazing specialty/signature retreats in magical locations as well!

These do cost more, but we offer opportunities for sponsorship to help minimize the financial barrier to these special trips. These include Mommy & Me, Couples, Cruises, and Family GLAMP trips to such places as the Jekyll Island Club Resort, Ocean City, NJ, Luray, VA, and the Bahamas!

Experience the joy of family bonding with our Mommy & Me and Family Trips, designed especially for caregiving families. These cherished getaways not only provide a much-needed break from everyday responsibilities but also create lasting connections with other families understand your journey. Your neurotypical children will have the chance to make new friends, all enjoying a private vacation atmosphere together. Join us for a memorable experience celebrates both family and community!

As much as we advocate for parents & caregivers to take time away from their heavy responsibilities, it's also valuable to be able to get away *as a family*. This is especially true if you are able to be away with lots of other caregiving families at the same time.

Our Mommy & Me and Family Trips are particularly cherished opportunities. Even better than the group discounted rates, your neurotypical children get to make new friends with other kids who also have siblings with challenges. You're on your own private vacation, but surrounded by other families who understand your life.

״I always thought taking time for myself was selfish. I thought "who would keep the house going, keep the kids alive?" Well, a friend told me about AMR and we took a respite weekend away. Oh how glorious it was to decompress, talk to other parents who understand your tribulations. And guess what, the house was still standing and all those kiddos were just fine! AMR has been a live saver and a marriage saver! ״
