SUMMARY:2025 Fabry Family Education Conference
DESCRIPTION:Each year since 2011 the National Fabry Disease Foundation has held its Fabry Family Education Conference in Greensboro\, NC\, and its Fabry Family Weekend Camp at nearby Victory Junction Camp in Randleman\, NC. The conference is held on Thursday and Friday followed by the camp on Friday afternoon until noon on Sunday. All individuals with Fabry disease and their families are invited to the annual conference\, not just families going to camp. Lodging and meals are provided at the conference. \nThe Thursday conference agenda consists of activities\, exhibits\, and a welcome dinner. On Thursday afternoon\, we conduct activities that contribute to Fabry disease awareness\, research\, and outreach that benefit the entire Fabry community. The Friday conference agenda includes physicians and other healthcare speakers providing medical presentations as well as speakers providing industry updates and other helpful presentations. We have an adult chat session to get to know each other and to share family experiences. \nWhile the adults are participating in the adult education sessions\, the kids are in the capable hands of our contracted team of nannies and tutors participating in a variety of activities and entertainment. A highlight of the teen’s and kid’s activities is a block of two-hour chat sessions facilitated by a team of genetic counselors\, nurses\, and social workers holding age-appropriate discussions about living with Fabry disease. The groups are divided by age and by affected or non-affected status. The unaffected sibling chat sessions are equally as important as the chat sessions for affected children.

SUMMARY:2025 Fabry Family Weekend Camp
DESCRIPTION:We go to a very special place each September/October when we hold our annual Fabry Family Weekend Camp. We bring everyone to Greensboro\, North Carolina on Wednesday or early Thursday for informal conference activities\, then a full day of educational presentations on Friday. At about 4:30 pm on Friday\, we transport approved families to nearby Victory Junction for our weekend camp. Our camp is awesome! \nCriteria to attend camp: If you have at least one child with Fabry disease that is 6 to 16 years old\, you are eligible to bring your entire immediate family to our expense-free annual Fabry Family Weekend Camp (Friday late afternoon to noon Sunday). All families attending camp are automatically signed up to attend our annual Fabry family education conference before camp (Thursday to Friday afternoon). \nThe NFDF administers a contract with Victory Junction for lodging\, meals\, snacks\, and loads of facilitated fun activities at camp. We provide transportation from the conference to Victory Junction and back to the airport on Sunday.\nWe need volunteers to support our camp. Family and friends\, clinic staff and industry staff are welcome and encouraged to apply. \nIt is a great experience! Please submit volunteer applications as soon as possible once we announce the start date in our periodic e-newsletter. \nIf you have questions\, please contact Jerry at jerry.walter@fabrydisease.org or 800-651-9131.
