FAQs

  • This camp is a great option for patients, survivors, or siblings of childhood cancer who are ages 6-12, potty-trained, and have permission from their doctor to attend school or camp.

    Many of our campers have food aversions, g-tubes, special medical needs, or disabilities. This is very common at Camp Casco! We’ll work with you prior to your camp session to make sure we understand your child’s unique situation and how we can best support them at camp.

  • No, not at all!

    Any brother or sister of a child who has ever been diagnosed with cancer, who is age 6-12 and lives in New England, is eligible. Their eligibility does not depend on the cancer patient/survivor’s participation or treatment status.

  • Yes! Camp Casco provides lunch & snacks for all campers throughout the week. All camp food is nut-free.

    All of our lunches are provided by local restaurants like B.Good, Pizza Peddler, and Qdoba. We also provide twice-daily nutritious snacks to keep campers full and energized.

    Specific dietary preferences (like vegetarian, vegan, or kosher diets) and other food allergies can be accommodated. Please be sure to note this on your camper application.

  • We follow the guidance of the CDC, our local Boards of Health, and of course, our medical experts, when making decisions about health and safety. Please visit our COVID-19 page for the most up-to-date guidance on our policies and procedures.

  • The One Mission Day Camp takes place in partnership with LINX Camps at Dana Hall School in Wellesley, MA. LINX Camps and Dana Hall School offer a top-tier facility, including carefully maintained grassy areas, an indoor pool, and accessible indoor bathrooms. The majority of our camp takes place outside on the grass, under shady tents.

  • During inclement weather, such as very warm or rainy days, we’ll move inside. On warmer days, we may provide cooling items such as a personal fan, and increase the number of water activities, to help keep kids comfortable. Be aware that in the case of lightning, swimming is not permitted, despite the pool’s location indoors. If weather conditions are deemed unsafe for any reason, you will be contacted immediately to pick up your child.

  • In general, during the camp week, you can expect to receive a daily update every evening through our camp app.

    If your child needs additional support for any reason during the camp day, we will reach out to you right away.
