Retreat Yourself Adventure 2012

Who is eligible to attend Retreat Yourself Adventure?

This program is for those who are less interested in sitting around a cozy retreat centre and are more interested in discussing their cancer experiences while speeding through the forest in a harness or hiking difficult trails. The activities aren't going to be easy, so you need to feel confident your body can take four days of real adventure activity.

For this program, it is important not only to fit the basic criteria but to also be in the right space mentally and physically. The bulk of the program will be physically demanding and we want you to have the full experience.

We're also looking for survivors who have not yet attended a Retreat Yourself program. While everything about Retreat Yourself Adventure is new and shiny, it's still has the bones of a Retreat Yourself program. However, if you relapsed since your last Retreat, this program could be for you to help you process what the recurrance means.

You are:

• Young adult cancer survivors between 18- and 39-years-old who were diagnosed between 15- and 39-years-old. You can bring one supporter who is also between 18 and 39.
• You have to be at least one year post-treatment and up to a maximum of five years post treatment.
• You also have to be in good and stable health.

Please email Karine at karine@youngadultcancer.ca if you have any questions.
