Camp Wieser:
Embrace Serenity and Hope

Cancer touches each person differently. For some it’s a challenge; for others, a journey. Where is there a place to rejuvenate spirits and leave worries behind? Camp Wieser!

Embrace Life Fully

At Me-One, our mission is to ease the burdens that cancer imposes on adult patients and their loved ones by offering activities and events that inspire courage, hope, and laughter.

Camp Wieser is a completely free, three-day retreat designed for adult cancer patients and their families. This retreat provides a unique opportunity for families to step away from the daily struggles of cancer and connect with others who truly understand their journey. Nestled in the beautiful natural setting of Scotts Valley, California, Camp Wieser offers a chance to escape the routine of treatments and doctor visits, and rediscover the joy of laughter, play, and fun.

Stories of Gratitude

In Their Own Words (Camp Wieser Participants and Partners)

We Had Lost The Concept Of Play

“Our family was given a gut-punch when my husband was diagnosed and given a dismal prognosis in the same phone call. In following the advice to ‘get his affairs in order,’ we sort of lost sight of the concept of ‘play.’ Your camp interrupted that focus and made us merely play together. There were so many moments of joy, bliss, silliness and giggles. We all did many spa treatments, swam, and square-danced. My husband and daughter loved the archery together. I’m 61 and had a rainbow painted on my cheek! Thank you so much.”

Left Feeling Like My Heart Was Overflowing

“Camp Wieser helped our family to just be joyful for our weekend. Cancer robbed us of all our family activities and vacations for summer 2019. The volunteers were so kind and fun to get to know. It was so relaxing to be in an environment as beautiful as Mission Springs with a group of people who just know how you’re doing emotionally and physically. I personally left feeling like my heart was overflowing.”

Just The Break I Needed

“Camp Wieser was just the break I needed.”

I Was Spoiled Rotten

“I was absolutely spoiled rotten all weekend and had the best time. It’s left me fired up about helping in some way. Keep me in mind if you need a volunteer. I don’t have any special skill like massage or hair cutting but I can help at the gala and I’m planning to solicit a few places to sponsor or donate.”

Would Love To Pay It Forward

“I want to reach out and express our gratitude to each and everyone of you all! Our family had such an amazing weekend and experience! I will never be able to repay you all! Our family would be honored be volunteers! Rosa, our family host, made such a great impact on us and we would love to pay it forward too! Please let me know when I can apply to become a volunteer and I will do it in a heartbeat!!”

Every Moment Was Special

“It is a bit tough to put into words – but I had no idea how much I needed to go to Camp Wieser. I wasn’t feeling well, and worried that I should cancel. But I went, and every moment was special. Amazing volunteers. Endless activities. I even went zip lining! The best part was spending time with my family just having fun. I also love that they got pampered – they have been taking care of me for years now, and this was their turn. I will never be able adequately thank the kind people at Me-One Foundation for making this possible.”
