FAQ

Do I need previous experience in the arts to apply?

No! Just an interest in connecting with other young adults living with a UCD while you explore creative arts, learn relaxation techniques and support through fun activities!

Are chaperones allowed to attend?

Yes! Transportation to and from Chicago, lodging, and food for participants and ONE chaperone will be provided.  Separate community activities will be provided for chaperones, but are not mandatory. 

I have special health and dietary restrictions, can I still attend?

Yes. We can absolutely accommodate any health and dietary restrictions, including low-protein. If selected, there will be an opportunity to inform the staff of your dietary needs.

Over the course of the weekend, we will have a nurse on call who has knowledge and experience with patients living with a UCD. We are also conveniently located near some of Chicago’s best hospitals.

Do I have to participate in every workshop?
