Each Spring and Fall members of the Well Community have the opportunity to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and escape to the country side for an overnight retreat to Mt. Lebanon Camp in Cedar Hill. They look forward to it each year like you and I do when we count down days for vacation or holiday breaks. 

Our members live every day under the stresses of insecure housing, inadequate nutrition and inescapable anxiety. But twice a year we can give them a one-night escape from those burdens. And we can do that amid community. Together they enjoy the countryside hayrides, evening bonfires, daily games and devotions.

Free, even briefly, from concerns about the complexities of life, their laughter bubbles over and their delight explodes. For adults who shoulder severe mental illnesses, such relief is nothing short of a miracle.
