Hep C retreats?

Anybody think that a camping retreat on a beautiful river with great food, music and massages/latest news talks and support might be a good idea?
I have a secluded lovely spot on a very clean, clear river and 3 acres of campground.... with a stage and lots of musicians. plus lots of alternative/ nutritional/ licensed therapy/counseling/ healer friends.
would have to affordable of course, but maybe we could help each get thru tx and share info?

we are in the process of coming with ideas to make it:
A- affordable ($50 per person for a weekend?) with donations accepted?
B- worth it
C- make this first one a short time; we can all help design what would work.
D- how can we get together and help each other?
E- if you are too sick or too broke to come how might this work for YOU?
what if we had rides? what if we had seminar type info events and made short dvd's to share with the community?
F- maybe this fall??????

I am thinking we can do something soon w/out grants but I want those so we can have massages, real healthy food, restful cabins, hot tub, pool, and on-site nurse to keep us on track during TX.

just brainstorming here- any ideas out there???

Grants have too many strings.  What about a nominal charge?  I would certainly chip in for my share of the costs.

Howdy ok- let's keep this idea replicating :)
I am thinking that if we all chime in we can design our own weekend- i have the place and the intent. i also have the music and the volunteers.

i am currently trying to get some grants anybody know anything about that?

I am in DFW area.   We need healthy SVR and others not treating to do all the work so us sickies can just show up and get pampered.  Then when we are cured we can take the reigns and carry it on
