Camp Casco: A Place For All

Oncology Camp 2024 Leadership Team

In a world that can feel divided, finding a community where everyone belongs is more important than ever. At Camp Casco, we are proud to be that community—a safe place where kids impacted by childhood cancer can come as they are, feel accepted, and experience the pure joys of childhood.

Inclusivity is at the very core of what we do, from our mission statement to our values. From the moment kids arrive at any of our programs, we welcome them into a community that values every unique personality, story, and smile. It’s not just about creating a safe space but a celebrated space where we embrace our differences and every child feels seen and valued.

But it’s not just the campers who benefit from our culture of kindness and belonging—it extends to our incredible volunteers, too. At Camp Casco, we know that volunteers give so much of themselves to create magical experiences for our campers, and we believe it’s just as important to care for the people who make that magic happen. We strive to ensure that every volunteer feels supported, included, and part of the Camp Casco family.

A Chance To Make Connections

For many volunteers, camp is not only a chance to give back but also a chance to feel connected and valued by their peers. It’s a chance to break free from life’s stresses and rediscover the magic of childhood right alongside our incredible campers. Whether it’s the shared joy of a campfire singalong, the pride of helping a child conquer a new challenge, or the laughter of playing a silly game, volunteers experience the same sense of community and belonging that makes Camp Casco so special.

Kindness and compassion are the threads that weave our camp family together. Whether it’s a camper trying something new, a volunteer offering encouragement, or the shared laughter of a group, every moment is filled with care and understanding. These small acts of kindness build the bigger picture of what Camp Casco stands for: a haven of love and support in a world that can often feel uncertain.

Embodying Our Mission

Our mission—to provide a joyful and inclusive camp experience for children impacted by childhood cancer—is fueled by the belief that together, we’re stronger. At Camp Casco, we celebrate the courage and resilience of our campers and empower them to grow with confidence. And we’re equally committed to ensuring our volunteers feel the same sense of belonging and joy that makes camp such a transformative place for everyone involved.

Volunteering at Camp Casco isn’t just about giving back—it’s a chance to grow as a person. Whether it’s connecting with campers, building lifelong friendships, or simply sharing in the joy of creating memorable moments, volunteering enriches your life in ways you never imagined. It’s a deeply rewarding experience that reminds us of the power of kindness, community, and joy.
