Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta Mom’s Retreat

When: May 16 – May 19, 2025

What: This event is for DSAA MOMS. Spend three nights at an inn for peace and sleep away from home with other Down syndrome moms who understand the daily challenges. The inn functions like an AirBnB. Guests have 24/7 access to a full kitchen. Breakfast is not provided – you can cook in or eat out. There are many amazing local options or bring your own food. Completely casual – sleep as long as you want. There are no expectations of you. You don't even have to come out of your room if you don't want to! No calendar, no schedule, totally free-style. This event also has a group. You’re welcome to join the group once you register for the event.

Cost: Minimum requested donation is $90 per person and directly supports the inn. Contributions are non-refundable if you have to cancel but remain as a donation to support other caregivers.
