SIBS – So Important Brothers and Sisters – Weekend
Our SIBS Weekend is held in February and is for any brother or sister of a sibling who has or has had cancer. The free weekend takes place in the winter and offers a retreat for those siblings - with the weekend being “all about them!” (So much attention is given to the brother or sister with cancer, so we are excited we can offer them a special weekend of spoiling and having fun!) A session is held with a psychologist in case there are any children who need to air any emotions – all in a safe environment. Snow sledding, art projects, and winter Olympics are on the agenda….all contributing for a magical weekend.
MOM’s – Makers of Miracles – Retreat
This free weekend takes place in October and is for moms of children with cancer. This weekend is all about spoiling those moms with good food and spa treatments. In addition to the spoiling of the moms, two psychologist lead discussion sessions with the moms, one offering “Self Help for the Caregivers” and the other discussing questions the moms provide in advance regarding issues they would like addressed in a discussion session. We are excited to offer this weekend as a retreat allowing the moms to support each other.
