Vacations
are:
new friendships, new ideas, a new sense of self-worth, an expanded
world view, and, of course, a great deal of fun ! Vacations open
our eyes.... and our hearts.... As we explore our special interests
and discover new ones, practice learned skills, and refresh ourselves
in a unique respite and recreation opportunity, we are ourselves
touched by the world and our fellow travelers. It is through traveling
and vacations that we seek to create amazing and memorable experiences
for persons with special needs.
People
and Places is a not-for-profit, 501(c)3 organization
providing year-round, small group travel, vacation, and respite
opportunities for persons with mental retardation and other developmental
disabilities. Each year, small, supervised groups of 6 to 8 vacationers
and 2 tour escorts travel on nearly 100 vacations to diverse destinations
around the world. Since 1975, thousands of participants with special
needs and disabilities have experienced the richness of the world
around them. Human service professionals experienced with persons
with developmental disabilities, bring to each vacation their
experience and ability, their personal and professional commitment,
and their enthusiasm and fun-loving personality to create safe,
enjoyable, and memorable travel experiences for each vacationer.
