๐Ÿ‚ Fall Respite Weekends are open for registration at The Fowler Center!

A weekend at Fowler means adventure, friendship, and a place where campers can truly belong. And for caregivers, it means something just as important: time to rest, recharge, and take a breath knowing their loved one is in a place built for joy and connection.

Come see whatโ€™s planned for this fall, including weekend themes, ages, requirements, and upcoming dates.

Weโ€™ve officially wrapped up summer camp season, and what a season it was!

This summer, more campers than ever experienced the adventure, joy, and absolute belonging that make Fowler so special. And more campers means more horseback rides, more courage, more connection, and more stories.

And we canโ€™t wait to share those stories with you.

Respite weekends give campers a chance to reconnect with friends, enjoy new adventures, and experience all the fun of camp. Just as importantly, they give parents and caregivers a weekend to rest, recharge, and take care of themselves.

Campers can look forward to horseback riding, animal visits, nature hikes, campfires, pumpkin carving, and more.

A great weekend for campers. A meaningful break for caregivers. ๐Ÿ’›
