Let us help you celebrate in a place where everyone feels at home. We look forward to hearing from you!
How it started
The Sweet Cocoon was founded in loving memory of Marlowe Treglown, who passed away at 18 from Sanfilippo Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. On Marlowe’s 17th birthday, her mother, Amanda, wrote a poem with the line, “You are a precious caterpillar wrapped in a sweet cocoon, who'll emerge into a beautiful butterfly in Heaven way too soon.” This sentiment inspired the name of our retreat.
At The Sweet Cocoon, we offer a peaceful space for children with special needs and their families to rest, relax, and connect. Our mission is to provide comfort, love, and a supportive community, just as Marlowe’s memory continues to inspire us.
