Hello. My daughter is 21 years old and has acute lymphoblastic leukemia. She was diagnosed on 2/12/19 and is undergoing “consolidation phase” chemo currently. She has never been on a camping trip or retreat of anykind. We really would like to take her somewhere this summer. Is there anything in the northwestern p.a. area or northwest n.y. or northeast Ohio areas that offer a retreat or camping for young adults and their families? Thank you for any help in this matter. Sincerely Mari
