Twice a year, adult cancer survivors gather at Camp Bluebird for a 3-day, 2-night experience that’s unlike any other part of their treatment regimen.

In a setting of great natural beauty, Campers can relax, slow down, and gain new insights by sharing their experiences with others who are living with cancer.

Campers participate in group activities aimed at helping everyone focus on coping with change. These sessions include such topics as:

• Lifestyle adjustments
   

• Family support: How to give it and take it
   

• Assessing non-medical needs and how to meet them
   

• Educational assistance for medically related concerns
   

• Managing cancer treatments and their side effects
   

• Nutritional information
   

• Creative outlets through arts and crafts activities
