What do you actually do at ALD Family Weekend? At past weekends, families could try archery together or sit and talk with another parent. A lot of the weekend is just seeing what your family feels up for once you’re there.
Along with archery, past weekends at The Painted Turtle have offered horseback riding, a ropes course, and arts and crafts. There have been campfire sing-alongs and dance parties, too. The schedule can change, and activities are optional. You can spend time together, see what’s going on, and decide as you go.
I think about the time in between, too. The kids are doing their thing and you get a few minutes to talk to another parent. If somebody needs a break, go take a break. You can come back when you’re ready.
If you’re thinking about coming, ask the organizers about the current schedule and what accommodations are available for your family. The weekend has been offered free of charge. Confirm the details of the next session before making travel plans.
