THE STRONGER TOGETHER WORLD TOUR (#STWT)
We are excited to bring you the 2023 Stronger Together World Tour! Much like the 2022 tour, we are hosting regional gatherings across the world! Barth families will unite to build and strengthen relationships through a shared experience of learning and camaraderie. We are creating opportunities to fortify the relationships between families so they can support each other across the journey of living with or caring for someone with Barth syndrome.

GREAT WOLF LODGE
The centerpiece attraction at every Great Wolf Lodge is the expansive indoor water park, designed with many water slides, pools, and play areas for families to enjoy together.
The family-fun extends beyond the water park. Kids love MagiQuest, the brand’s exclusive mystical interactive adventure game. Other exhilarating attractions include a ropes course, arcade games, and miniature golf.
Group Rates will be available for rooms on Thursday and Sunday nights on a limited basis. Late check-outs will be available at a discounted rate.
BSF will provide Group Rate Discount Codes for each location once the Great Wolf reservation websites open. Room reservations for all locations will need to be made no less than 2 weeks prior to the location event.
As we did in 2022, BSF will sponsor Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner, and Sunday breakfast.
BSF will also sponsor Great Wolf attraction passes, appropriate for children ages 4 to 14. Offsite events will be considered for older attendees.
Saturday morning educational sessions will focus on empowering families to be advocates for access to crucial treatments for Barth syndrome and learn ways our community can drive impact in research.
