Travel Adventures

Join The Fowler Center for trips filled with friends, fun, and travel as we venture to various destinations in the USA. Trips vary from day trips to weekends to week-long adventures!

Some of our recent trips include a day trip to Great Lakes Crossing where we visited Sea Life Aquarium and had lunch at Rainforest Café; a weekend fishing trip where travelers camp in tents at a state park and charter a fishing boat, catch and then fry up dinner over the campfire; and finally, a week-long trip to Disney World!

Trips are first come, first served and have limited spots available for those who use wheelchairs due to transportation and the nature of the trips.
