Corporate Trail Blazer Teams
Turn Your Miles Into Impact
Trail Blazers is a flexible hiking challenge that allows employees to participate from anywhere during the month of May. Whether your team hikes together locally or participates individually throughout the month, every mile and every dollar raised helps Camp Casco provide free camps and community programs for kids affected by cancer and their families.
Companies love Trail Blazers because it combines:
Employee wellness
Team building
Community impact
Flexible participation for remote and hybrid teams
Employees can hike anywhere, any distance, making it easy for everyone to join.
How It Works
1. Create Your Company Team:
A Team Captain signs up and creates a company team page.
2. Invite Your Colleagues
Employees can join the team and create their own individual pages if they would like.
3. Plan Your Hike
Choose any trail, any distance, and any challenge level. Your hike should occur between May 1 - June 15, honoring National Cancer Survivors Day.
4. Fundraise Together
Team members share their pages with friends and family to support Camp Casco!
“We spent a good two hours laughing and having a good time, so part of it was bonding for each of us in the company, but also we knew we were doing it for a really special reason.”

Make A Meaningful Impact
When your company participates in Trail Blazers, every dollar raised helps make Camp Casco’s programs possible for children and families affected by cancer.
Funds raised through your team’s efforts help provide:
Free summer camp experiences designed specifically for kids with cancer and their siblings
Transportation, meals, and full medical support so every camper can attend safely and comfortably
A community of peers who understand, where kids can build confidence, friendships, and lifelong memories
By supporting Trail Blazers, your team helps ensure that every child facing cancer has the chance to experience the joy, independence, and connection that camp provides.
Fundraising Milestones
Corporate teams participating in Trail Blazers can unlock special recognition and rewards as they reach fundraising milestones. These rewards are designed to celebrate your team’s impact and help you share your commitment to supporting kids and families affected by cancer.
All rewards are awarded based on total team fundraising across all team members’ pages. Funds must be received by June 19, 2026 to count towards the team’s total.

Prefer To Support Without Hiking?
Not everyone wants to hit the trails! Businesses and community partners can still make a big impact by becoming a Hikes For Hope sponsor.
Your business will directly support Camp Casco’s free camps and year-round community programs for children affected by cancer and their families, ensuring that more kids can experience the joy, connection, and confidence that camp provides.
Sponsors receive recognition throughout our entire 2026 Hikes For Hope campaign, including opportunities for logo placement, social media features, and acknowledgment as a community partner helping make camp possible.
