Capturing the Heart of Bluebird Cancer Retreats!

It’s a rockin’ fun concert on the beautiful Grand Haven waterfront to support Bluebird Cancer Retreats and help individuals and families battling cancer.

Our First Ever Virtual Retreat

Now more than ever, people affected by cancer need inspiration, support and tools to rediscover the joy in life. When Covid 19 took away our ability to offer in-person weekend retreats, our talented volunteers helped us create our first-ever virtual retreat. Get ready for a fun, informational and inspiring experience. Enjoy this from the comfort of your home and share it with others you know that could benefit. You do not need to be a cancer survivor to enjoy the fun!

“This virtual retreat got me through a very lonely and scary time at the beginning of the pandemic. I tried some new things and found myself laughing for the first time in ages. I have even gone back to experience parts of this more than one time”.  – Virtual Retreat Participant

 

Find Your Strength Again

“I found more than I was looking for. What happened was I gently unfolded in the process of being here. With the people that are here, the energy that’s here, and I realized I now had a way of going forward. I found my strength again.” – Karen, Cancer Survivor

“Last fall Melinda and I got the chance to go to the bluebird couples retreat… The opportunity to do that and know this wont mean I have to choose between doing this thing that’s probably good for us, or having a bill that I can’t pay… that’s a really big deal and because it changes the whole dynamic when the generosity of other people allows you to do something like that. ” – Mason, Cancer Survivor

Educational & Social Activites

Although the love and support of family and friends is paramount, there is often a need to connect with others who are experiencing many of the same emotions. Therefore through the unique experience of weekend programs with other individuals Bluebird Cancer Retreats of West Michigan provides hope and renewal for adults who have been diagnosed with cancer.
