Through the unique experience of weekend programs, Bluebird Cancer Retreats participants have a very special opportunity for listening and learning, not only about their disease, but insights from others like themselves who live with cancer. Participants will find time to reflect, share, and learn about coping with cancer while participating in a variety of educational, recreational, and social activities.
Bluebird’s weekend retreats are held on the shores of Lake Michigan at the Camp Geneva Conference Center. Located just 5 miles north of Holland, Michigan, Camp Geneva's beautiful facilities and breathtaking natural surroundings provide the ideal setting in which to experience respite and renewal for those on the cancer journey.
Bluebird Cancer Retreats are staffed by medical, spiritual, and social professionals along with cancer survivors and volunteers, and are carefully constructed to ensure a dynamic healing journey toward emotional well-being. Our retreat staff and volunteers - many of whom are cancer survivors themselves - have a deep commitment to the health of the human spirit, as well as the body.
