Children’s Cancer Connection will celebrate 23 years of camping at Camp Heart Connection this summer, and we are excited that you can be a part of it – whether you are attending as a camper or are simply joining in our Campership Challenge.
Beginning on April 15, we are challenging all Children’s Cancer Connection families, friends and volunteers to participate in a 45 day challenge to raise $15,000 for Camp Heart Connection camps and our other recreation programs. If every child and camp staff that attended one of our two camps in 2009 raised only $35 – we would meet our goal! Money raised between April 15 and August 1 will help Children’s Cancer Connection continue to provide our week-long summer camps FREE OF CHARGE to our families!
Helping is easy!
- Email your friends, families, and co-workers to help make camp possible for one child this summer.
- Set your own goal – something you think you can attain! Is it $100 or a full camp scholarship of $300?
- Sponsor a cabin of kids for $1,750, and your name will appear on a cabin at camp.
- All participating campers will be recognized at their respective camps this summer!
