In partnership with ALS Canada, AWC Grief Support is proud to offer the inaugural ALS Youth Retreat, a free weekend bringing together youth from across Ontario for friendship, fun, and connection in a supportive camp setting.

We blend traditional camp fun with guided therapeutic activities, giving participants tools to process the challenges of having a parent with a serious illness while building peer connections that last well beyond the weekend.

Space is limited and registration is required. The Expression of Interest Form takes less than 5 minutes to complete!
