Interacting with doctors, psychologists, and other experts in the field to learn more about Tourette Syndrome!

Participating in a variety of recreational activities.
Create a project that can be used in your own advocacy efforts and be used to help advocate for others.
Forming friendships and connections with other participants, and meeting successful young adults who will serve as Coaches, guiding participants through the weekend’s events!
