2024 No Barriers Caregivers Application

The 2024 No Barriers Caregivers Application has 4 sections: 1. Program Acknowledgement

2. Applicant Information 3. About Your Caregiving Journey 4. Retreat Interest & Availability

As you fill out your application, keep in mind that the ideal candidates are family Caregivers that possess a desire to overcome their barriers, have fun, practice self-care, and deeply connect with others. Retreats are designed to give you a deliberate break, chance to build community, rediscover yourself outside the Caregiver role and learn to live a No Barriers Life.

This application does not guarantee acceptance to the program and the retreat dates you select are not guaranteed to be the program you are selected for. The application must be fully completed in order to be considered for a retreat.

In order to provide opportunities to a greater number of Caregivers, we ask that participants cover the cost of their travel to and from the retreats. If you are selected for a retreat and this expense would cause undue financial hardship for you and your family, you may apply for a scholarship to cover some of all of your travel expenses.

2024 Opportunities:

Multi-Day Retreats: Retreats last for four days and three nights and are located at the No Barriers Mountain Campus near Red Feather Lakes, CO. Each retreat is led by an incredible team of Program Leaders who will guide the team through activities and support the cohort.

Single-Day Retreats: One-day retreats begin in the late morning and continue through the day concluding around a closing campfire in the evening. Each of these experiences allows for Caregivers to escape to nature, practice self-compassion, and connect with others in a shorter format retreat. These programs are aimed at serving individuals living on the Front Range of Colorado or within driving distance to Fort Collins, Colorado.

Contagious Illness Requirements

No Barriers prioritizes the health and safety of our participants and staff. As such, we implement policies and procedures that mitigate health and safety risks, including requiring actions that reduce the risk of contracting and spreading contagious illnesses.

Specific public health requirements are determined based on information regarding the spread of infection, CDC guidelines, and recommendations from No Barriers' medical director, and will be communicated to participants with sufficient time to comply with these requirements. These requirements may include properly wearing recommended face coverings, maintaining physical distance indoors, providing negative viral test results, and/or providing proof of current vaccination. The following questions assess your commitment to complying with any possible public health risk reduction requirements that may be in place at the time of your participation:

*In the case of a vaccination requirement, a process to apply for a medical or religious exemption will be made available. Exemptions will only be granted according to CDC guidelines and in situations where risk can be appropriately mitigated.

I understand that No Barriers cannot completely remove the risk of contagious illness transmission.
