Thousands of children each year develop cancer and their lives immediately change. Our purpose at Woodfield Nature Sanctuary is to provide a space to bring joy and comfort to these kids and their families by getting out of their everyday life and into nature. A portion of the proceeds from each retreat will be allocated to continue our support of families with children who are impacted by cancer by offering them an all-inclusive stay at Woodfield. We are partners with Hamilton Ronald Mcdonald house OPACC Ontario parents advocating for children with cancer and Candle lighters
