ADULT CANCER RETREATS

Each year Camp Mak-A-Dream/Gold Creek Lodge hosts retreats for adults
with cancer. There are two major events held each fall: the Ovarian Cancer
Survivor's Retreat and the Women's Cancer Retreat. Both retreats are for
women who either have, or have had, cancer.

These four and five day retreats give participants the chance to relax,
share their stories and meet new friends who share a similar life
experience, all in a comfortable, supportive atmosphere.

Some of the activities at our adult retreats include:

Keynote Speakers
Art Studio Sessions
Educational Workshops
Entertainment
Outdoor Recreation & Fitness Opportunities
Fine Food
Relaxation Time in our Beautiful Modern Cabins
