We hope you can join us at the beautiful Scarborough Inn for our 2026 Moms Retreat!
Meet other moms and share experiences with each other while relaxing and having fun! DSADE will cover a two-night stay for any mom of a child (of any age) with Down syndrome who is a DSADE member. This event is for moms only!
Every attendee will have their own room/bathroom, unless you’d like to room with someone. Attendees must attend for both nights. Please email Susan Blessington at outreach@dsadelaware.org if you are willing to share a room with someone.
