We have blessings from God and our mission is to share those blessings with you. 
               This weekend-long event is a chance for you Single Moms                               
                          To bond with your children
                          To build some lasting memories
                          To experience outdoor activities at minimal cost
                          To relax from a hectic life
                          To be encouraged for the future
                          To know you are not alone in your struggles and someone cares!

                       
Besides all the neat outdoorsy stuff you'll be doing; like paddling a raft, climbing a rock wall , swimming in an indoor heated pool, cooking s'mores around the campfire, etc., mom will find some refreshment for her soul.

How did we get started?                                

 

This grass roots effort started In 2007 when Joan Anderson was working as a river guide at Adventure Calls Outfitters white water rafting facility at Letchworth State Park.  Being a single mom, and a river guide, Joan experienced the bonding opportunity all families had while taking a trip down the river. She was then inspired to "pass her blessings on" to other singleMom's and thus established the Mom and Me weekend retreat. 

 

Adventure Calls Outfitters joined in with it's rafting facilities and was excited to "pass on their blessings" as well. They have donated rafting, and meals and river guides, and busing and so much more to this retreat over the past few years which are too numerous to mention.

 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Praise the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

 Dear Mom's

My hearts desire for you is to have a weekend with your kids to laugh, play and for you to be served hot meals and enjoy the fellowship of other families sharing your journey. Your kids are a precious gift and now is the time to make a memory that you will share for a lifetime. There is no better way than playing in the water, roasting a marshmallow and taking yourselves away from the day to day demands by unplugging the TV, ipod, computer and phones and plugging into each other.

The verse above reminds me of some of the same special times I have spent with my kids through opportunities afforded to me from the blessings I have received from God above and His angels on earth. Please come and join us for an action packed weekend. Take home some brand new family memories that will encourage and inspire you and your kids to look for those opportunities through out the weeks and years to come.

God Bless and I look forward to meeting you all!
