Our Mission is simply to love and encourage families.  We do this by providing free mini-vacation style weekend retreats for families with physically or developmentally disabled children!

Who…
Barren Heights will seek and welcome families who have a child or children with disabilities. Retreats will be hosted by Board Members and other volunteers. The Retreat will accept applications on a first come first served basis.

What…
Guest families will be invited to the retreat at no cost. Focus will be placed on quality family time, recreation, cooperation and the natural setting. Time will be allotted for group activities, individual family activities and worship. Seasonal options may include boating, fishing, archery, tennis and more.

When…
Retreat sessions will be held from May through October. These retreats will run Friday through Sunday.

Where…
Barren Heights retreat is nestled atop the gentle rolling hills of Allen County Kentucky, near Barren River Lake.  A campsite built just for you.
