Caregivers Conference

In November, Camp Mak-A-Dream will host 10 young adult cancer survivors and their primary caregivers in our first Caregivers Conference.

The goal of this conference is to provide support and resources designed to meet the specific needs and challenges facing caregivers and the young adults in their care. For this pilot program, we look forward to bringing together a diverse and complementary group facing similar challenges within the caregiving community. Within the supportive environment of Camp Mak-A-Dream and with professional guidance, the group will share experiences and resources, develop skills and ultimately work toward the common goal of fostering better communication and understanding within their relationships. For more information on this program, please contact Beth Jones at beth@campdream.org.

Young Adult Survivors Conference

The Young Adult Survivors Conference is an educational conference for individuals wanting to work as a group toward improving the quality of life for cancer survivors and their families. Attendees at the winter 2012 conference will work closely with professionals on creating tools and providing resources for cancer survivors transitioning through and beyond the cancer experience. Applications and additional
information will be available this fall.
