In 2019 Alex’s Army held our first ever Couples Retreat. Alex’s mom & dad know firsthand the hardships that a marriage can go through when you have a child with a medical condition and they feel blessed to be able to provide an opportunity for other moms & dads to have a space to take time for each other. This event was formed to provide an opportunity for couples to come alongside other couples who know these challenges and also to provide a weekend away for reconnection, rest, and of course a little pampering! The weekend for couples includes a Couples Connect session which is an opportunity for the couples to meet and join in fellowship with each other, followed by a nice dinner and social time. There is ample free time also where couples have the opportunity to be pampered with a couples massage, take walks around the beautiful and tranquil paths of Poplar Springs Manor, spend time relaxing by the pool, and of course overnight accommodations as the Poplar Springs Inn.

Alex’s Army provides this event FREE for our moms & dads thanks to our generous donors and supporters! While we were unable to host this event in 2020-2021 due to COVID, we believe in the need for this event and it is our hope to be able to host this event annually as long as we are able.

If you’d like to make a donation to specifically support of our Couples Retreat events, please use the below donation link to do so. The cost of the weekend retreat for one couple is $400, a donation of that amount will sponsor a couple to attend OR a donation of any amount helps! All donations are greatly appreciated and will be allocated towards the continuation of providing this event for our families.
