"The Gold Coast was my first trip away with friends. I really developed my life skills and helped cook the dinners with everyone. Taco night was the best. I now feel more confident to travel. And, I made new friends. We’re already planning our next trip.“

"The ski Getaway really changed my life. I struggled at first but everyone encouraged me and it made me keep trying until on the last day. I made it onto the ski lift. It was amazing!"
