Thank you for your interest in our program. 

Please complete one registration form PER family member planning to attend. All information will remain confidential.

By submitting this form, I confirm that I wish to attend the two-day Family for Keeps® Basic Caregiver Course, a Dream House for Medically Fragile Children Program. I understand that, until receiving confirmation from a Dream House representative, I am not guaranteed a specific class date.

Course fee is $250 per person.
