This past weekend I had a chance to attend Camp Wieser with my family. The camp is put on by the Me-One Foundation. Their motto is “Me One, Cancer Zero”. One thing they do is put on a camp (mini-retreat) for adult cancer patients and their families. The only cost to the family is getting to the camp (gas, food, etc). The rest of the weekend is fully paid for by the Me-One Foundation.
It was such a blessing to be able to relax and not have to be worried about anything else. Each family attending the camp had either 1 or 2 hosts (depending on the number of children attending). The hosts were responsible for helping the family get to any scheduled activities, such as spa appointments, or adventure appointments, as well as watching the children so the adults could have time to themselves.
As a mom of 4 it was nice to finally have more than 5 minutes of “me time.” I was able to get a facial (a first experience), as well as a manicure (first time), and a 1-hour full body massage!
