Young adults with cancer have unique needs that typical kids camps don’t normally address.

With activities ranging from the adventurous to strictly relaxing, YAC Weekend is the perfect summer getaway for 18-25 year-old cancer survivors. The location for YAC alternates between the 4-H Center in Front Royal, VA to sites in the Richmond/Tidewater area, where activities include swimming, sports, crafts, games, and music – plus lots of pizza and socializing! Check out the brochure for YAC Weekend 2013.

Special Love also offers the Kay-Moore Scholarship to past and current participants in our programs. Applications are due April 1st of each year. 

Other Opportunities:

The OMG2013 Cancer Summit is coming up on April 25-28 in Las Vegas, NV.  It's a blowout workshop that attracts over 600 young adult survivors and vendors (plus did we mention it's in Las Vegas?)  The event is sponsored by StupidCancer, whose weekly "Stupid Cancer Radio Show" has featured Special Love several times.  Check out the event flyer!

The Ulman Cancer Fund, in cooperation with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Georgetown Hospital, also has a support group for young adults. Their monthly meetings will combine fun, fellowship and information - click here for more information.
