Trail Blazers
Come together with your community to make a difference! This flexible hiking challenge unites individuals, teams, and corporate groups to help send children fighting cancer to our life-changing summer camps.
How It Works
Customize your hike challenge. Whether it’s a local trail or a destination hike like the Grand Canyon, hike location, distance, and difficulty level is completely up to you. Whatever you choose, it should take place between May 18 and June 2, 2024, in honor of National Cancer Survivors Day.
Engage your community. Community is at the heart of everything we do. Invite others to join your team to inspire your friends, family, and coworkers, and ensure that more kids fighting cancer can experience the magic of Camp Casco!
Start your journey. On April 8, the adventure begins with a Virtual Kick-Off event! Weekly tips and tricks and an online hiker community will ensure you feel connected at every step of the way. Every dollar raised will get you closer to the next Milestone, unlocking an exclusive new prize and deeper insights into the impact of your hike.
Your Impact
Every dollar raised will help send childhood cancer survivors to Camp Casco in 2024.
Our camps make summer fun accessible to kids who have spent too much of their young lives battling cancer, from 24/7 onsite medical professionals to all-terrain wheelchairs.
Every program is provided at no cost to our families, including bus transportation, meals, and snacks. Our campers experience independence, increase self-esteem, build lasting friendships, and create priceless memories they'll cherish forever.
As a Trail Blazer, you’ll make this transformative opportunity possible for some truly deserving kids. And just like our campers, you’ll get to develop your own connections and community as dedicated supporters all over the nation hike for Camp Casco on National Cancer Survivors Day.
