Thanks to generous supporters like you, Muscular Dystrophy Canada is proud to have hosted 6 retreats in 2025. From Caregiver Retreats to Family Retreats, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
These retreats help break down some of the biggest barriers faced by families affected by a neuromuscular disorder—including isolation, lack of information, limited peer support, and feeling overwhelmed. By bringing caregivers and families together in a safe, accessible environment, we create opportunities for meaningful connection, learning, and fun. Most importantly, retreats offer the chance to meet others who truly understand and to share similar experiences.
“This retreat has allowed us the opportunity to leave the house and do something FUN. I knew that when we arrived the place would be accessible, and we could connect with people who truly get it!” – Ontario Family Retreat attendee
“The Family Retreat is such a meaningful experience! It’s a place where my daughter can connect, feel included and see other children who share her journey. As a parent, it’s a chance to feel less isolated and learn from others who walk the path. It lifts everyone’s spirits and gives us memories that last long after we return home. It’s become an anchor for our family.” – Ontario Family Retreat attendee
“The opportunity to be with others who understand is incredible. The time to restore myself makes me a better caregiver and enables me to keep going for my kid.” – British Columbia Caregiver Retreat attendee
“Disability can be very isolating – even for adults. This retreat was a reminder that we aren’t alone and allowed for connection. It was nice to be able to relax and be with others who “get it”. I’m already looking forward to the next one!” – Atlantic Family Retreat attendee
