Tucked away in the forest of southeastern Ohio and overlooking the historic Ohio River, this Family Retreat is held on the campus of Shawnee Resort. A beautiful swimming pool with an accessible lift makes this retreat quite exceptional, plus disabled people and their families will feel at home in the rustic, yet modern surroundings. Run by our Joni and Friends/Ohio team, this retreat serves families in the Ohio River valley and beyond.
