Volunteer: Seeking volunteers to help plan the party of the year!
📋 Role Overview & Responsibilities
Camp Casco builds community for childhood cancer patients, survivors, and families in New England through amazing camp experiences. We create a space for kids to reclaim their childhood- to laugh and play. All of our campers have been affected by childhood cancer, and this unifying environment is liberating. At camp, cancer instantly becomes the least remarkable thing about you - a welcome relief for those who have felt defined by this label in everyday life.
Research shows that summer camps for children with cancer reduce disease-related anxiety, improve self-image, increase independence, build social skills, and ultimately improve psychosocial outcomes. We provide these benefits to New England kids free-of-cost, giving patients, survivors, and siblings the chance to make lasting memories and build lifelong friendships.
About Our Event
Camp Casco is celebrating another amazing summer of incredible camp experiences for children affected by cancer by throwing a camp-inspired cocktail party perfect for every kid at heart.
Campfires & Cocktails is our annual party to wrap up an amazing summer and raise funds for the new year. This is no stuffy event- we’re bringing all of the fun and magic of our camps to downtown Boston for an uplifting night filled with light and laughter.
