COVID-19 update as of August, 2021:
Due to the ongoing concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic, we made the difficult decision to postpone our in-person camp experience once again. We need to be sure we can safely come together from near and far. We miss seeing you all in-person! Nothing beats getting to meet and hug our families and children we hold special space for in our hearts. We hope you’ll register for the 2021 online opportunity For questions, additional information, or to be sure you’re on our email list regarding our Family Camp opportunity, please email [email protected]. For more information and resources relative to COVID-19, please visit our COVID-19 page.
We invite you to register for SRNA’s Virtual Quality of Life Family Camp, to be held via Zoom, Friday, September 3, and Saturday, September 4, 2021. We’ve partnered with community member, Grace Fisher, her family, and the Grace Fisher Foundation, to bring you a special weekend to enjoy as a family. This special virtual camp is for families with children diagnosed with ADEM, AFM, MOGAD, NMOSD, ON, and TM.
Friday, September 3, 2021, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time Zone
Come see the award-winning documentary, “Amazing Grace” profiling Grace Fisher, a 23-year-old Santa Barbara woman and the obstacles she’s overcome from a paralyzing disease. Afterwards, we’ll have a Q&A session with Grace, and her parents, Bill and Debbie. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with other families who share so much of our same experiences, regardless of your child’s rare neuroimmune disorder diagnosis. Check out the trailer for “Amazing Grace” below!
Saturday, September 4, 2021, 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time Zone
Join us back on Zoom for a special art session led by Grace! The Grace Fisher Foundation’s mission “exists to connect children living with disabilities to music, art, dance, and other forms of artistic expression in order to provide an accessible space for community inclusion, education, creation, and self-discovery.” Be a part of a session painting your own unique, underwater sea creature, and the opportunity to be part of one of Grace’s future projects, an animated short film! Be sure to sign-up and come connect with Grace and other kids as she leads us in using our imagines and creating something special! (A list of suggested materials will be provided with your registration confirmation.) You can get a great idea of the work Grace has done with her foundation via the link below. She’s an amazingly talented woman and we’re excited to see what she has in store for our families!
