Our Program
The 2023 Survivor Summit Camp will be held July 10-14 at Echo Hill Outdoor School in Worton, Maryland. Echo Hill is known for having some of the best outdoor programming on the east coast–and we are thrilled to partner with them. Please read more about them, here.
Campers will depart together from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia on July 10–and return on July 14. While at Echo Hill, participants will have the option to tackle a challenge course, explore the Chesapeake Bay, set out on overnight canoeing trips, participate in nightly activities, or just take down time in a beautiful location! They will also get to hear from inspiring cancer survivors, who will share their stories in the hopes of inspiring our campers! The Camp will accommodate 12 participants. The entire camp will take place in partnership with both trained Echo Hill Outdoor School guides, and an onsite support team from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
