Thanks to improvements in treatment options, more kids are surviving cancer than ever before. Unfortunately, the life-altering experience of surviving cancer can take a huge emotional toll, leading to fear of recurrence, low self-esteem, poor body image, and challenges relating to peers at school.

THE BATTLE WITH CHILDHOOD CANCER DOESN’T END WHEN TREATMENT DOES!

Childhood cancer survivors need long-term support, and with the number of survivors increasing annually, we need to act now.

we help childhood cancer survivors thrive

At Camp Casco, 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.

Who We Are

Camp Casco was founded in 2014 by a small group of passionate volunteers at Harvard Medical School who understand the persistent needs of childhood cancer survivors. Our group of Cancer Biology students and professors, united by a commitment to improve the lives of individuals with cancer, recognized the lack of community-building opportunities for kids diagnosed with cancer, especially in the years following treatment, and sought to create a summer camp designed just for them.

We’ve grown a lot since those early days, but many of our team members have stuck with us from Day 1. Click here to meet the dedicated team members who make Camp Casco possible.
