1. Do I have to pay for anything while I’m on my retreat?
Your accommodations are free of charge and there are many activities that may be provided by community members.  Additionally, the facilities themselves provide a wealth of entertainment with games and other amenities. Families can often enjoy various free meals at each of the retreats.  Although you will need to provide most meals, each facility has a fully equipped kitchen and near-by restaurants for your convenience. back to top

2. Does Believe In Tomorrow provide transportation?
Families must provide their own transportation to our facilities. back to top

3. Can I book a retreat a couple times a year?
Eligible families are able to visit the beach retreat one full week during the summer, and are invited for other visits based on availability.  Returning families often can explore the beach retreats from October to May.  Please contact us for more information. Visits are usually scheduled three months apart.

The House on Wisp Mountain is a large single family facility. Families who have not yet had the opportunity to go, often fill the house.

Various situations arise where we can fill our house during peek times with returning families.  Please contact our office to check availability, and sign up for our short-notice contact list. back to top

4. Will I be able to reserve a week each summer?
Each year we have many new families who have not had a chance to visit our retreat housing program during the summer. Although families who have never been at a retreat facility will have priority, returning families are encouraged to contact us to check availability, and sign up for our short-notice contact list.

Returning families are also eligible to visit the Beach Retreat again from October to May. back to top

5. Can I schedule time in the winter?
At the mountain retreat, the winter can be very popular, due to activities available.  Winter months are reserved for children who will not be eligible to visit during the summer.  However, we encourage families to contact us to check availability, and sign up for our short-notice contact list. back to top

6. How early can I schedule for the summer?
At the end of March each year, we start the process of inviting families for the summer. We will contact eligible families who have applied. back to top

7. How do I schedule a retreat in October through May?
If you are a returning family, or would prefer to visit the beach retreat during these months, please call the Believe In tomorrow office three months prior to your requested stay (i.e. October 1st stays should call August 1st).  Eligible participants will be considered based on availability.   We encourage you to contact our office to check availability if you would like to schedule within three-months. back to top

8. Do I have to request a whole week during the school year?
No, we are flexible, so you can schedule for a weekend, several days, or a whole week, whichever works best for your family during the school year. back to top

9. Who can stay at the retreat?
Our retreat housing is provided for immediate family only.  Immediate family includes the patient, parents/legal guardians and the patient’s sibling(s).  If you are a single parent, another family member is welcome to help you that week.  Please contact us if you have another scenario with your family.

Grandparents have been welcomed at the mountain retreat provided space permits.back to top
