Testimonials

I had the best time ever! I experienced so many new things, and met some amazing people!! It's nice to be around people who know about spinal cord injuries and that experience the same stuff you're going through!

Linda Impagliazzo,

SCI camp provides a sense of family and community, it is a place for learning and growing, and it has given me new memories and new friends to cherish. Whispering Hope Ranch is a beautiful and peaceful place which has given me experiences that will stay with me forever.

Tim Kendall,

I have had the opportunity to attend the SCI Retreat a few years. It is always nice to see the many friends that I have met throughout the years there. I am glad to meet more each year. To be able to get out of the city to enjoy all the amazing sights and fun activities that camping has to offer makes the time there that more memorable. So many great times are had at the Retreat. If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to attend you should.”

Dalen Soto,

I have lived with a spinal cord injury (C6-7) for over 25 years. I have experienced a lot of things. But I have to admit the Retreat has been one of my most fun and memorable experience living with a Spinal Cord Injury. The atmosphere at Whispering Hope ranch is “Breath Taking” or I should say gives YOU a chance to Breath, a chance to slow down and smell the flowers (literally a lot of flowers). The days and nights are filled with fun geared toward my peers and fellow Spinal Cord Injury survivors. One of the Great things about the retreat, it allows you the space and place that a SCI person needs to either join in any of the activities or just hang out and catch up on some reading (paper work or whatever)! Anyone who has ever felt like they need to get away somewhere peaceful and fun, but was fearful that they could not because of their SCI, Fear not, this retreat is the place for You. With qualified staff (like Tina) with years of experience, You will have the time of Your Life at this Retreat!!!"
