Retreat FAQs

All 2025 retreat applications are closed.

We will be adding the 2026 retreat information and application links as each retreat confirms its details over the next few months. Please periodically check back if you don’t see your retreat listed.

  • CfR retreats are provided at no cost to the participants, except for their travel to and from the retreat location. We can help organize ridesharing for those who need travel assistance.

  • Women are selected to attend retreats via a random lottery.

  • Meals, lodging and equipment are provided while attending a retreat.

  • No fishing experience is necessary!

Who May Apply

  • Any woman who has received a breast cancer diagnosis (and is in any stage of treatment or recovery) may apply.

  • At this time retreats may be attended only once so we may serve as many women as possible.

  • Casting for Recovery strives to reduce barriers to access. We will do our best to accommodate any special needs you might have including diet, mobility issues, etc.

  • Alongside our retreats available to women of all ages and stages, Casting for Recovery also offers specialized programs exclusively for women with Stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer in Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Nebraska, and Texas in 2026.

Where a woman can apply:

You are eligible to apply to the retreat that is closest to where you live (which may be in another state), and only one application for 2026 (unless otherwise noted). If you missed the application deadline for that retreat, or if your schedule is not compatible with that of the retreat you are eligible to apply to, we encourage you to apply again next year.

Selections: The random selections are typically made within ten days of the application deadline, and all women are notified via email of their status. The deadline to apply for each retreat can be found on its application.
