James Fund Neuroblastoma Family Retreat

Watch video of our 2011 Retreat.

If you are a neuroblastoma family, we would love to have you join us at The James Fund Neuroblastoma Family Retreat. You will be among friends. This retreat is a safe place for neuroblastoma families to gather, share information, and learn about research, treatment, and coping skills.

Who: Neuroblastoma families who are fighting, are in remission, or who have experienced loss, from neuroblastoma (nb). Your family could include siblings, grandparents, aunts & uncles, your nanny, or anyone else you identify as a key person to your child’s care and your family’s well-being. Please feel free to pass this invitation along to other families like us.

What: 5th annual weekend retreat for nb families

We will have loads of cancer related and neuroblastoma specific information presented by SickKids researchers and other key medical professionals. The weekend will offer activities for the whole family including a supervised children’s program staffed by trained, adult camp counselors. We will keep the kids busy while the adults learn, share experiences, and network with other parents and professionals. We will also have some wonderful entertainment and recreation, and will have fun along the way..….and there’s no cost to you!!!

Where: Camp Oochigeas in beautiful Rosseau, Ontario, Canada (www.ooch.org)

When: September 21-23, 2012 (Friday evening to Sunday afternoon)

Why: With the growth of The James Fund to include other neuroblastoma families, it is becoming increasingly apparent that families need support to fight this disease. Our goal is to provide you rest and rejuvenation to recharge your emotional reserves, quality family time, fun, laughter, recreation, encouragement, connectivity, information and some new tools for decision making. It’s all about empowerment.

How: This event is being organized by The James Fund and its volunteers. All costs for this event are being covered through the generous support of third-party sponsors and Peterborough’s Anden James Fund Golf Classic event, hosted by Michael Burgess.
