WiFCC Caregiver Getaway: Brookfield

Parents and caregivers (adoptive, foster, guardianship, kinship/relative, and reunified caregivers who reside in Wisconsin) - you deserve a day for YOU! We invite you to take a night away and join the Wisconsin Family Connections Center to focus on caring for yourself. Attend as an individual or as a couple, both are welcome! Our speaker, Deb Reid, will guide us through the day with a presentation entitled "Embracing Grace: A Day for You." This day is meant to incorporate connection, learning, and rest to help you re-charge. You will notice the day begins a bit late and ends a bit early, because we wanted to build intentional time for slowness into this opportunity (as well as give anyone traveling some extra morning time). For those of you who stay at the event hotel on Friday evening and book within our group rate, breakfast has been included for you. Registration for this getaway is open to any adoptive, foster, guardianship, kinship/relative, and reunified caregivers who reside in Wisconsin. A certificate of attendance (3 hours) will be available upon request for ongoing education documentation, if needed. Registrants must be in attendance for Saturday's programming in order to be eligible for hotel and childcare reimbursements.

INCLUDED in this free getaway for you:

-A one-night hotel reimbursement of up to $150*
-Saturday programming & lunch
-Child care reimbursement(up to $50/one child or $100/family)

AGENDA FOR THE DAY

9:30-10 Check-in (fruit and coffee available)
10-11:30 Morning Session
11:30-12:30 Lunch (provided) & time to connect with other attendees
12:30-2 Afternoon Session

Please note:

-This is an adults only event, and no child care will be available on-site. Registrants must attend the Saturday programming in order to take advantage of the child care reimbursement and one-night hotel reimbursement.

-There are 3 WiFCC Caregiver Getaways this spring (Rhinelander 4/12, Brookfield 4/26, & La Crosse 4/26). Each household should register for only ONE of these getaways so that as many families as possible may benefit from these offerings.

Space for this event is limited.

*Hotel reimbursement details: A one-night hotel reimbursement of up to $150 is available for each attending household, with block rooms available on either Friday or Saturday evening through the event venue for rates starting at $149++. A link to this group rate will be provided in your registration confirmation email. To receive the group rate all rooms MUST be booked by Friday, April 4, 2025. After this date, the group room block is released to the general public and you will no longer have access to the special group rate. After April 4th, registrants may no longer be able to secure that rate, but will still be eligible for the one-night, up to $150 hotel reimbursement for this weekend (at either the event hotel or another nearby). Registrants are responsible for booking & paying for hotel rooms individually - these reservations will NOT be booked or paid for by the WiFCC.

If you have questions, please reach out to [email protected].

Cancellations for events must be made at least 72 hours in advance. If 3 or more late cancellations or no-shows occur within a six-month period, the household’s event registrations in the following six months will default to a waitlist.
