The 2024 retreat will take place
June 17th – 21st
at Camp Medomak Retreat Center in Washington, Maine
APPLICATIONS OPEN APRIL 1
The retreat is for women living in New England who are currently undergoing or who have completed treatment for ovarian cancer.
Medomak Retreat Center in Washington, Maine is tucked within a cool pine forest and sits just above a pristine lake shoreline. Visitors stay in simple, New England style 2-person cabins which include a private bathroom, shower, electricity, comfortable twin beds, a writing desk and outdoor Adirondack chairs to enjoy the warm days. The main building hosts a large dining hall, four smaller breakout rooms, and a covered porch that can accommodate 20+ people. Other meeting places include a newly renovated, open-concept barn and other outdoor spaces. While at Medomak guests can enjoy hiking the on-property trails or exploring the quiet lake by canoe, kayak, or paddleboard. The cooling waters, located a 3-5 minute walk from the cabins, are a joy to swim in, paddle through, or simply observe from the docks with a good book.
The retreat combines recreation and relaxation through a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, art projects, entertainment, and free time. There are a variety of activities to choose from each day and may include light hiking, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, creative projects, yoga, massages, facials, dancing and singing. Participants are encouraged to take part in as many of these as they are up to—and everything at the retreat is optional. Participants are free to rest in their rooms or chat with new friends anytime. A licensed social worker is present and available for private and group discussions.
All meals are included, and participants are encouraged to eat together in a family atmosphere. Additional beverages and snacks are available throughout the day. All the food offered at the retreat is plentiful, nutritious, and diet-responsive to the extent possible, with an emphasis on organic and locally-sourced produce. Please note specific dietary needs on the application form.
Attendees must be able to care for their own medical needs while at the retreat. A nurse is available for minor first aid and supportive consultation if emergency assistance is required. Please return the completed medical information form with your application.

We're thrilled to announce that Team Ovations will be stepping up to the challenge at the 2024 Dana-Farber Jimmy Fund Walk to Defy Cancer, and we want you to walk alongside us!
Thanks to your incredible support last year, we raised an impressive $35,830.30 and marched as a mighty team of 42 walkers. Your generosity directly fuels Dr. Ursula Matulonis' vital research on ovarian cancer at Dana-Farber, offering hope to those battling this devastating illness.
Every step you take and every dollar you donate propels us closer to breakthroughs in early detection and ultimately, a cure. Your involvement means more robust research, heightened awareness, and crucial support for the roughly 20,000 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year.
Together, we can make a tangible difference in the fight against ovarian cancer. Will you join us in this vital mission?
