Finding Cooper’s Voice & The More Than Project
present the 3rd annual
More Than a Caregiver Respite Retreat at Moon Beach
September 13-15, 2024 - St. Germain, Wisconsin
The More Than Project and Finding Cooper's Voice are hosting their 3rd annual More Than a Caregiver Respite Retreat at Moon Beach in St. Germain, Wisconsin with special guest, Laurie Hellmann.
The camp sits on 110 acres between Eagle River and St. Germain on the shores of Moon Lake and Little Saint Germain Lake. Enjoy quiet and clear waters, mixed forests with many nature trails, an abundance of wildlife, and some of the best stargazing around!
Caregivers often feel isolated and misunderstood. This retreat offers a break from daily stress in a beautiful Wisconsin camp setting.
During the Caregivers Retreat, you can share your story, life experiences and meet others who understand what it means to support a loved one with special needs – in a safe, supportive environment where caregivers can interact and learn from one another.
This event will be focused on you, the caregiver and helping you learn, make a friend, feel seen, and more. You won't want to miss this life changing event.
SPECIAL GUESTS:

Laurie Hellmann
Throughout her entire life, Laurie Hellmann has assumed the role of caregiver, advocate and leader, so it comes as no surprise that she immediately jumped into action to navigate the challenging world of autism and share what she’s learned with others when her first born, Skyler, was diagnosed with severe, non-verbal autism in 2006. Laurie’s 24 year professional career in the healthcare industry combined with her 20 years of personal experience as a parent caregiver to a young adult son with profound needs has made her a sought-after speaker and thought leader whose empowering message and uplifting perspective opens minds and soothes souls.
Laurie is a self-professed “warrior mom” whose honesty, humor and authenticity have connected her to families, medical professionals, therapists and, frankly, everyone she meets. Through her podcast, “Living the Sky Life — Our Autism Journey,” her book, Welcome to My Life: A Personal Parenting Journey Through Autism, and her advocacy work, volunteerism, and speaking, Laurie is continually making a lasting impact in the autism community and beyond.
