We want to make a difference, one survivor at a time… Our goal is to make a positive difference in your life over this very unique weekend. Fly-fishing is on the agenda but support for the journey of breast cancer recovery is our underlying focus.
We focus on wellness instead of illness… Support groups, whether at a hospital or breast center, provide a wonderful first-line resource but are often viewed as a setting that focuses on the disease, and not on recovery. Casting for Recovery’s welcoming environment, free of the constraints of treatment, family responsibility, and financial concerns, helps women open up to taking charge of their own wellness.
We focus on quality of life issues… The retreat program is designed to help women participate at their own pace, take time to care for themselves, engage in self-exploration and the mastery of new skills — helpful tools as women return to the demands of their day-to-day lives. Casting for Recovery truly deserves its description as “life-changing”.
We expand support & create new opportunities for survivors… Whether women are currently undergoing treatment, or are ten years beyond it, participants find that they share a common bond, can help each other address issues that arise post-treatment, and share an inspiration that often goes beyond what is available to them in their day-to-day lives.
We share our love of this therapeutic sport… Fly-fishing is the means used to address the underlying issues surrounding recovery. Participants are offered formal instruction in the basics of fly casting, environmental issues, catch-and-release fly fishing, entomology, fly tying and knot tying skills. We hope you thoroughly enjoy this special weekend retreat.
