The organization is non profit, and families are not charged for attending. It is volunteer run and many volunteers have been personally affected by the support present at Camp Sunshine. They have a full private resort, with a swimming pool, lake, playground, mini golf course, game rooms and a cafeteria.

I had an opportunity to attend a Casting for Recovery Retreat. It was everything wonderful and nothing bad and I would encourage any women breast cancer survivors to at least check this organization out.

The Wellness Community/West Los Angeles is an excellent home for HOPE, education and support. Free programs are offered e.g. writing, tai chi, meditation, etc. They have participant groups as well as groups for family & care givers which is equally as important
