The Respite Experience
Brought to Life
No Respite Experience is the same. Families are invited to create the experience that best fits their needs, allowing control over what the family gets to do together during this time. The possibilities are endless, and the impact is immense. The respite provides the space and time to:
TRAVEL in your car for a destination that is NOT a hospital or doctor’s office, and letting the anxiety associated with these visits fly out the window!
PLAY a family-friendly game room equipped with activities for all ages, featuring classic favorites like skee ball, Pac-Man, basketball, and shuffleboard—creating the perfect space for family bonding, laughter, and friendly competition.
IGNITE creativity and curiosity with hands-on STEAM activities in our STEAM room that inspire innovation and bring learning to life.
EXPAND your mind in our library, where a wide selection of books for all ages awaits to inspire you.
EXPLORE renewed family connection and new friendships that last beyond respite.
SNUGGLE with a loved one by the hearth, wrapped in our FPS blanket, and take a moment to journal and reflect on the cherished memories created during your respite.
REST peacefully in a well-appointed room surrounded by the still and calm of an expansive woodland backdrop.
RELAX in the heated pool and watch the kids laugh carefree in the splash pad.
SOOTHE the mind and body by starting the week with guided meditation and chair yoga followed by dedicated time in our peaceful chapel for personal reflection and spiritual renewal.
EMBRACE adventure and enjoy extra Woodloch amenities like rock climbing, go-karting and other outdoor activities.
CREATE keepsake family art projects, such as modeling clay pottery pieces, as a lasting memoir of Respite Experiences made in our dedicated art room, which is open 24 hours for patients or their loved ones having difficulty sleeping.
ENGAGE in a dedicated STEAM education room with innovative tools and interactive gadgets to inspire curious minds and foster exploration in science, technology, engineering, arts and math.
TRADE the oncologist’s office for a room with views from every window, perfect for reflection and conversation.
JOIN other families around the bonfire to share journeys, be encouraged and know that no family walks alone.
NOURISH the body with healthy food and time together at indoor and outdoor dining areas — with no dishes to clean up!
UNITE together as community for a daily flag raising gratitude ceremony.
EXHALE while walking accessible nature trails, enjoying the healing power of fresh air and embracing the body’s ability to move.
