Mini-Retrerat – Shilo Farm

Shilo Farm Eliot, Maine, United States

We know how important it is to meet other families that understand the plight of a child’s cancer. We are encouraging family friends that met during their child’s cancer journey to apply for this retreat for a chance to spend a weekend together. If you weren’t able to meet other families (the pandemic made that tricky) please still apply, as this may be your chance to connect. Fun and therapeutic activities will be catered specifically to children’s ages and families’ preferences. Check out the photos from one of our mini-retreats (Nov, 2019) at Shilo Farm.

And our goal is to cultivate an empathetic community to ease the pain & suffering they carry. We’ll be hosting up to 12 parents on this 2-night stay at a beautiful home in Saco, ME. If you need a weekend to focus on your grief and honor your child’s memory, we hope you sign up.
