Abstract
The serious psychosocial and emotional side effects of cancer and its treatment negatively affect the lives of breast cancer survivors. Camp Alegria, in 2005, was the first oncology camp offered to Latina breast cancer survivors. This 3-day camp (N = 58 women) provided a culturally and linguistically relevant program that empowered Spanish-speaking women diagnosed with breast cancer and gave them an opportunity to gain support from other cancer survivors facing similar challenges. Process evaluation results illustrate high satisfaction with the overall program, format, educational and recreational activities. This paper describes the camp development, experiences, and lessons learned.
