Arthritis Foundation teen retreats provide teens an opportunity to learn more about arthritis, practice taking an active role in their healthcare under the supervision of a medical team, and connect with other teenagers with rheumatic disease during a fun weekend adventure! Creative teambuilding activities and discussions help teens gain a greater understanding of their own diagnosis and treatment, develop peer-to-peer support, increase independence and self-confidence, discover new skills and interests, and develop the skills they need to be leaders, advocates and champions in their everyday lives. Teen Retreat is open to teens with arthritis and related rheumatic diseases, ages 14-17. Official registration is required. Register at www.arthritis.org/jacamps. Registration opens March 28 and fills quickly! Contact Winnie Monohan with questions: [email protected] or 206.547.2707 x 101"
