The Caring Cabin is an extraordinary destination for families to relax, explore, and create once-in-a-lifetime memories. Designed with the needs of seriously ill children in mind, the Caring Cabin lends a much-needed mental break to recharge during or after treatment. This no-cost, five-day retreat restores energy and provides a needed respite for families battling pediatric illness.
Every day we see the impact JoyRx Nature has on children in need of Joy. Watch this video to learn more about the origin and impact of the Caring Cabin.
“When we first opened the gate, we knew we had arrived at a very special place. Everything about the property encourages reflection and healing.
