Survivor’s Outdoor Experience presents eight “Healing Adventure” presentations at the Olympic NatureBridge campus from May 17-19. Participants will include individuals that have been diagnosed with cancer and a companion if they choose to be accompanied.

This program will bring a small group of participants together to enjoy a weekend that will be one to remember. The retreat features presentations, indoor and outdoor activities, good food and most of all, good times and memories.

Activities include:

• Who Is a Survivor by Jack Ganster

• Healing in Harmony with Teri Applegate

• From Surviving to Thriving by Dr. Heath Foxlee

• Healthy Cooking with Julie Jacobson

• The Companion’s Story with Mikel Townsley

• Exercise Is Good Medicine

• Relating to Nature

• Hiking and Canoeing with NatureBridge staff.

“Being surrounded by this peaceful setting makes it easy for body and mind to unwind and relax. You just show up to be nurtured with great food and compassionate company,” said Applegate.

The Healing Adventure will be held at the NatureBridge campus on Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park. The retreat is designed to be a healing experience for all.
