SUMMARY:Positively Healing Family Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Positively Healing Family Retreat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us this summer to connect and heal with other families that have a child recovering from cancer.\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsored by: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKids Activities offered by: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe understand that when a child goes through cancer treatment\, the burden befalls the entire family.Finding peace and joy in life again can be tricky after the trauma of hospitals and procedures. \n\n\n\n\nThe seemingly endless treatments\, surgeries\, and scans often leave the patient and their family feeling anxious\, vulnerable\, even defeated. Parents\, siblings\, pets\, and loved ones experience a great deal of stress\, sadness\, and pain.  \n\n\n\n\nBut we also know that the fight against cancer can be an empowering one\, especially for survivors. \n\n\n\n\nAt Rett’s Roost\, we hope to create a joyful\, fearless\, empathetic space for families to relax\, renew\, and lament after months or years in a hospital environment. We focus on mindful\, positive living through healthy bodies\, minds\, and spirits. Our hope is to offer families facing life after treatment ways to ease their anxieties for the future\, reintegrate back into their pre-cancer lives\, and find moments of joy and gratitude in their daily lives. \n\n\n\nRetreat details: Eight families are invited to join this carefully curated\, free\, healing retreat taking place at Oceanwood Camp & Conference Center in Ocean Park\, ME. Families will stay in private\, rustic cabins (with electricity and hot water). Each cabin has its own bathroom. Oceanpark staff will be providing delicious\, healthy meals & snacks in their dining room. We will have full days of fun and meaningful activities to connect with others and to heal within\, such as art\, music\, yoga\, games\, massage\, and nature experiences. \n\n\n\nDoes my family qualify? For this retreat\, we accept families that have a child who has been through cancer treatment and currently is NED (no evidence of disease or on maintenance treatment) or has stable disease (with minimal hospitalizations). We do not have medical staff onsite for children requiring frequent interventions. Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital\, which treats children with cancer\, is 20 minutes away. We give out small travel stipends to those coming from over 1-hour away. Our retreats are best suited for children between the ages of 4-16\, however\, we do welcome families with older and younger children. Due to the recent increased interest in our retreats\, after attending a specific type of retreat\, you must wait 3 years to attend that same retreat again. \n\n\n\nRett’s Roost retreats are nondenominational. We act\, and ask our participants to act\, without discriminating against any person or organization because of their race\, age\, nationality\, gender\, sexual orientation\, or religious belief. \n\n\n\nCheck out photo albums from last year’s Positively Healing Retreat at Oceanwood: 2025 \n\n\n\nLast year’s Positively Healing Agenda: 2025 \n\n\n\n\nDeadline to Apply: April 15th\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\nApply Today!
