Camp 22Q Texas Family Retreat 

11_2022_22qTx_retreatCrop.jpgSAVE THE DATE FOR 2024!

We are thrilled to announce that 22Q Texas, Inc. is hosting our 13th Annual Retreat at Morgan's Camp in San Antonio on November 8th-10th, 2024. Camp 22q Texas is for families affected by 22q11.2 chromosome disorders, including 22q11.2 deletion, distal deletion, duplication, triplication and any other clinical diagnosis related to 22q/DiGeorge/VCFS.

Our retreat brings families and professionals together in a fun and nurturing environment to learn more about the disorders and treatments. As of now, this is the only 22q family event of its kind in the United States. Families support one another as we navigate life with these complicated genetic conditions. The weekend includes informative sessions plus opportunities to connect with and share information and experiences with others.

Kids and young adults with 22q participate in fun, challenging activities, building independence & confidence by doing things they felt were impossible. Siblings meet other siblings who "get"  the unique challenges they deal with. Parents are empowered, educated and connected with a strong support system. Families bond together and leave with renewed strength and hope.

It is a fun-filled camp experience for all ages and abilities with activities like archery, basketball, climbing wall, games, rope courses, animal experiences, zip lines, a campfire and more! Lodging is camp-style with families staying in group cabins (twin bunk beds, running water, electricity, bathrooms, roomy showers, a bathtub, refrigerator, washer/dryer and central air). All meals and activities are included in the registration fee. Families attend at little or no cost, with all meals, lodging and activities provided. 

We all hope to see you this November!

REGISTRATION INFORMATION COMING THIS SPRING!

Would you like to help sponsor our camp? Retreat expenses for 2024 are expected to exceed $40,000 with more than 200 individuals attending. Families will be asked to pay a registration fee or fundraise for each person to attend the retreat. While this is a small percentage of the actual cost, many families are unable to pay/raise this on their own. We are committed to eliminate any financial barrier so every family who wants to can attend. Your donation today can make 22Q Texas family camp a reality for these families! Thank you for supporting 22Q Texas and the families we serve.

For all questions related to the retreat, or to volunteer in November, please email us at retreat@22qtexas.org. Please be patient with us as we are a volunteer organization. Someone will get back with you as soon as possible.
