Camp Hope
Upcoming sessions
Be watching for the new 2009 Camp Hope schedule!
Camp Hope is a special event for breast cancer survivors. Although there is an agenda, the camp is created to be a relaxing day focusing on the survivor’s enjoyment. Each camp goes from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and follows the same agenda outline but may vary by activity, facilitators and presenters. The camps are currently being held in a log cabin on the grounds of the Hope Unitarian Church in Tulsa, or at the Girl Scout Troop House in West Tulsa.
An outline of the day includes breakfast followed by a short mixer, possibly a speaker on nutrition, health issues, makeup, etc. Activities are available by choice in the morning or afternoon session – creative activity – educational activity– massages or exploring the woodsy environment. Lunch divides the day’s sessions.
Some of the creative activities that have been offered in the past:
Painting flower pots
Frame painting
Faux painting
Embossing
Designing wreaths for the season Scrapbooking
Arranging cut flowers
Journaling
Quilting squares
Beading/jewelry making
The camps are currently funded by grants and there is no charge to the camper.
This special event is for breast cancer survivors only. To preserve the camp’s intimacy, a limited number of campers can participate in any one session. Call Carey at 918-494-8808 or email her at cedwards@networkofstrength.org for more information.
Some comments by former campers (evaluations are distributed before leaving):
Everyone was friendly and made me feel welcome. The massage was great. This was my first time and the friendliness of everyone was important to me.
I liked visiting with all the survivors.
I liked the activities, getting away for a whole day and the door prizes!
The satisfaction of sharing information. And of course, the food.
