Winter retreat for young adults
Thrive empowers young adult burn survivors aged 18 to 25, preparing them with the knowledge and tools necessary to help navigate the demands of adulthood as burn survivors.
For many survivors, the five-day winter retreat is the next step after graduating from Burn Camp and helps with the transition to adulthood. Programming focuses on team building, life skills, and connecting with the burn survivor community.
Thrive is hosted at the SilverStar Mountain Resort in Vernon, BC, and welcomes up to 18 participants each year.
Program Information
January 7 – 11, 2027
Thrive takes place at SilverStar Mountain Resort in Vernon from January 7-11, 2027. Participants will arrive at SilverStar Mountain Resort on Thursday afternoon for a welcome dinner and mountain tour.
