For dozens of stroke survivors from all over the state, a weekend away at camp is just what the doctor ordered.
It's called "Retreat and Refresh" stroke camp, and it gives survivors a chance to connect with each other as they recover.
At camp, they work with arts and crafts, music therapy, and even facials. Some say it brings a feeling of togetherness to the process. Ed Brogie is a stroke survivor, he says, "family becomes more important, your spiritual connection becomes more important. And in camp like this, you get to meet people that are in the same situation that you are so you don't feel like an island."
Camp is scheduled to go on until Sunday afternoon.
