Retreat Yourself Adventure

Mission

Retreat Yourself Adventure wants to provide young adult cancer survivors with an opportunity to address survivorship issues while taking part in an adventure that will challenge them physically and mentally and push their limits.

Purpose

This program aims to support the reintrajectorization phase of survivorship. By this we are referring to the time in the journey where survivors are trying to get back in the groove of things, but can’t quite figure out how. 

Once treatment is over, appointments are not as frequent, the body is healing, the physical strength improves, and expectations of what and how things should be creeps in. While experiencing an amazing adventure, we want to take the time to address what it means to be in that phase of the cancer journey.  

We want you to leave this Retreat feeling empowered physically and mentally. We will offer you tools and support so you can move forward and beyond your cancer experience.

What happens on an Adventure?

• You connect with a group of people that totally gets it;
• You have the chance to do activities that will allow you to face your fears and get to know yourself a little better in that phase of the cancer journey;
• You are empowered to continue moving forward by increasing your confidence in your body and mind post-treatment/cancer;
• You are given opportunities to recognize your strengths and push your limits; and,
• You have the time of your cancer life!
