Welcome to Respite Retreats
If you are or have been affected by cancer— as a patient, caregiver, or family member—you deserve respite. We believe you gain physical and emotional benefits when you can step away from the disease—even for a few moments. You benefit from connecting with other people … from feeling a sense of joy … from being you again. That’s why we create experiences that allow you to relax and renew: wellness day retreats and a variety of other programs. You are always welcome at Respite Retreats. We’d love to host you.

Our Mission
To provide experiences to cancer patients, their caregivers, and family members that allow them to refuel their spirit, and rediscover joy and connection.
Our Philosophy
We offer holistic and uplifting activities to disconnect from everyday life with cancer … allowing patients, caregivers, and their families to focus on healing, cultivate personal introspection, and experience a deeper connection with each other and themselves.
We understand a cancer diagnosis affects the entire family. We founded our organization with a fierce determination to let everyone affected by cancer take a break.
It’s Time for Healing for the Whole Family.
“For us, it’s personal. We’re deeply motivated to help because of what we have been through ourselves.”
