Summary

This trial will study whether nature-based activities provide benefits for breast cancer survivors and whether the program is feasible.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 39 who had breast cancer (stages 1-3) and finished treatment at least 3 months ago, can walk without help, and are not currently very active. A sub-study includes men and women aged 18-39 who've had any type of cancer and completed treatment up to 21 months prior.
What is being tested?
The study tests if nature-based exercises benefit those who have survived breast cancer. It involves physical activities in a natural setting. The main study will include up to 20 women with past breast cancer, while the sub-study will enroll up to 20 younger adults with any past cancer diagnosis.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves exercise, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue or minor injuries related to physical activity. However, these activities are generally considered safe and beneficial for most participants.
