2023 Camps
CCC’s Oncology Camp and Sibling Camp will both return to their pre-pandemic structures next year! The theme for 2023 is “Welcome Home,” as it’s the first time the normal weeklong schedule for children only has been possible since 2019, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its lingering effects.
