The 5th Annual Peer Retreat was held at Camp Fort Hill in Sturgis, Michigan August 20th through August 22nd. The event was hosted by Patrick and Shannon Kaufmann and about 60 people were in attendance. It was a weekend full of bonding. Activities included fishing, canoeing, volleyball, hiking, campfires and wonderful meals. Patrick Kaufman facilitated a Peer Forum focusing on consumer-run programming. Codi Ebey, Certified Peer Support Specialist, shared a powerful recovery story.
