CFRI hosts a General Membership Meeting once a year, an annual National Cystic Fibrosis Family Education Conference and an Annual Teen and Adult CF Day Retreat. These events are covered in our newsletters and are filmed for DVDs.

Each event is supported by renowned speakers from different fields of CF expertise.

For the CF Journey

I have been attending CFRI's camps and retreats for over 15 years. CFRI is one of the only organizations in the country that values the benefits of people with CF gathering together to support each other. Their strict protocols for hygiene and safety regarding cross-infection make this possible.

At Retreat we learn about new treatments, coping skills, and medical aspects of our illness. We enjoy delicious and nutritious meals, exercise activities, and creative art experiences. Most importantly, we explore how CF affects our lives, relationships, and emotional development. At Retreat, I laugh more than any other time during the year, but can also grieve and remember those friends with CF whom I have lost.

I leave Retreat feeling like I have charged my batteries to face the world with hope and confidence. The CFRI community at Retreat are like family. I am extremely grateful to CFRI for sponsoring this event.
