We are reflecting on this past weekend with such gratitude! To be able to see and hug 100 people from our communities was a true gift. We bonded, we laughed, we cried, we ate a lot of s'mores... it was a truly unforgettable few days! Please enjoy these incredible photos from the talented @murr_nugg Thank you, Dominique! You captured our time in western Pennsylvania in such a beautiful way! And if seeing these photos gives you severe FOMO (as it should).... get ready for YA Cancer Camp 2025!!!!!! An enormous thank you to our amazing partners @yasurvivorsu -- we wouldn't want to do this with anyone else!!! #YACancerCamp2024 #YACC2024 #cancercamp #yacc2024 #youngadultcancercamp2024 #youngadultcancercamp #cancercamp #campforpatients #campforsurvivors #yacancercamp #yacancersupport #ayacancer #ayacancersupport #ayacancercamp #year3 #comerelaxwithus #campretreat #cancerrespite #cancerretreat

Our next session of "STEEP" with @kaylaoncologylcsw is TONIGHT! STEEP = Sitting Together with Empathy and Emotional Perseverance *This is for any AYA (ages 15-39) at any point in their cancer experience. Tuesday, September 3rd from 7:00 - 8:30pm ET Topic: BURDEN This clinician-led monthly program offers a safe space to acknowledge the emotions that we often think we “shouldn’t” or don’t want to feel. This month we’ll be talking about feeling like a burden and the impact that can have. Whether you’ve had to move back home, stop working, or shift roles and responsibilities, relying on others and asking for help can be hard.
