WiFCC & Jockey Being Family Caregiver Getaway: River Falls
Parents and caregivers (adoptive, foster, guardianship, kinship/relative, and reunified caregivers who reside in Wisconsin) – you deserve a day for YOU! We invite you to take a night away and join the Wisconsin Family Connections Center, with special sponsorship from Jockey Being Family, to focus on caring for yourself. Attend as an individual or as a couple, both are welcome! Our speaker, Allison Kunkel, will guide us through the day, meant to incorporate connection, learning, and rest to help you re-charge. You will notice the day begins a bit late and ends a bit early, because we wanted to build intentional time for slowness into this opportunity.
Registration for this getaway is open to any adoptive, foster, guardianship, kinship/relative, and reunified caregivers who reside in Wisconsin. WiFCC staff will provide you with a certificate of attendance (3 hours) for ongoing education documentation, if needed.
INCLUDED in this free getaway for you:
-A one-night partial hotel reimbursement of up to $150*
-Saturday programming & lunch
-Child care reimbursement(up to $50/one child or $100/family)

*Hotel reimbursement details: A one-night hotel reimbursement of up to $150 is available for each attending household, with block rooms available on either Friday or Saturday evening through the event venue for rates starting at $169+. A link to this group rate will be provided in your registration confirmation email. To receive the group rate all rooms MUST be booked by Friday, March 27, 2026. After March 27th, registrants may no longer be able to secure that rate, but will still be eligible for the one-night, up to $150 hotel reimbursement for this weekend (at either the event hotel or another nearby). Registrants are responsible for booking & paying for hotel rooms individually – these reservations will NOT be booked or paid for by the WiFCC.
