​
What is it?
A glorious weekend filled with life and friendship! We welcome new members into the P.A.C.E. community, hug old friends and leave with a sense of spirit and hope. Let's keep celebrating each other!
​
How much does it cost?
The P.A.C.E. Retreat is free for any young adult between the ages of 18 and 25 with a history of congenital heart disease (CHD). However, one of the goals of the P.A.C.E. program is to help young adults with CHD move into the adult world, which includes paying your own way for things. As such we encourage you to pay as much or as little of the $250 cost as you can.
What if I didn’t go to Camp del Corazon?
No worries! While the P.A.C.E. program is part of the Camp del Corazón organization and many participants are former campers, we welcome all young adults with CHD, regardless of whether you’ve attended camp before. While some PACERs may know each other from camp, we promise you’ll feel at home and make new friends in no time!
​
What is the P.A.C.E. Retreat like?
The Retreat is an ever-changing experience that transformed each year based on the desires and the needs of the P.A.C.E. community. We will have group discussions on topics related to your lives with and without heart disease. It will be a weekend full of team building activities and networking within the young adult CHD community.
​
What if I can’t be there the whole time?
The Retreat is scheduled to run from Friday at 5:00 PM to Monday at 12:00 PM. We understand that everyone has school, work, and family commitments, so you are welcome to arrive and leave as needed to accommodate your schedule.
We kindly ask that you limit your comings and goings to just one arrival and one departure, and let us know in advance when you plan to arrive and leave. This will help us plan effectively and ensure a smooth experience for everyone. Thank you for understanding.
​
Where does the Retreat take place?
The home of the Annual P.A.C.E. Retreat is Camp Bob Waldorf. It’s located in the Montrose area of Glendale, CA at 1041 Shirlyjean St. Glendale, CA 91208.
