Camp Hope 2025
Elizabeth Barnes, Event Chairperson
We inaugurated Camp Hope in August of 2023, and it was an astounding success. Families with a child in active cancer treatment from around the Carolina’s came together to experience a special family weekend not focused on cancer treatment, but full of happy activities that make memories for life— fun, food, crafts, and lots of laughter.
If you are a family of children with cancer, we invite you to participate at no cost whatsoever.
