WHO WE ARE
Adventure Therapy Foundation is a nonprofit that exists to minimize isolation, fear and a broken identity in families impacted by cancer. Our programs encourage families to engage in meaningful experiences together.
We provide families with adventures of their own design. Families impacted by cancer are invited to present Adventure Therapy with an outdoor opportunity that no one in your family has ever tried. We then plan the adventure and send you on your way. The excitement mixed with adrenaline will seal the day into your family’s memory forever.
Isolation is an instantaneous result of a cancer diagnosis. RISE is a tool where from the moment of diagnosis, a client understands s/he is not alone. If this root of isolation never takes hold in new patients, this emotional side effect can be eliminated before it begins. This tool also fosters a truer “cancer community” where each geographic region establishes its own meaningful identity, inviting survivors and those impacted by cancer to participate and grow together. Connectivity and access to the resources in a specific region provides clients the best opportunity to eliminate fear and anxiety around cancer.
