The Special Assistance coordinator will then suggest the appropriate tour category. The tour, which is not wheelchair accessible, is geared towards those with mental and not physical handicaps. Plenty of the New England and Mid Atlantic states are available, as well as Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Alaska, and Hawaii. Camping trips, cruises, and baseball game outings are also available, as well as a number of international trips to Europe, Brazil, and Africa. The shortest tours are 4 days long, the longest are 11 days.
Prices vary, depending on the length of the trip, the destination, and the category.
All tours are all inclusive. Each September, they operate a large group trip for handicapped Catholics going to Lourdes, and bring 250 to 300 persons on that pilgrimage. Accompanying the group are doctors, nurses and paramedics. According to former manager Marie Gehringer, the key aspect of these journeys is the balm and comfort they bring to participants. Throughout the trip, he came out of himself, pushing those who were in wheelchairs, helping the blind visitors.
