Care Camps ‘Excited’ to Launch Ambassador Program in ’23

BILLINGS, Mont. – In an effort to meet the growing needs of children experiencing cancer, Care Camps officials are excited to announce the launch of a new Ambassador Program.

Care Camps, a not-for-profit organization, is mission-driven to provide healing in the outdoors to every child and family member affected by childhood cancer. In 2022, Care Camps funded over 132 specialized oncology camps across the United States and Canada, impacting thousands of children and their families.

“As our organization continues to grow, we see an opportunity to establish a group of individuals who are passionate about our cause and who can actively represent and promote Care Camps on a personal level,” said Mark Lemoine, Vice-Chair of the Care Camps Board of Directors and Owner of the Coloma/St Joseph KOA Holiday in Benton Harbor, Michigan. “As we develop our Ambassador program, we will broaden our reach geographically while creating more personal connections. Modeled after similar programs within local chambers of commerce, this is an opportunity to strategically expand our efforts without expanding our administrative costs.”

The creation of the Ambassador program will enable face-to-face opportunities to promote, engage, teach, and thank Care Camp supporters.

“We envision the Ambassadors as an extension of our staff. Providing fundraising support, personally thanking donors, and being an advocate for Care Camps are key components of the program,” said Lemoine.

Every year, the number of children in the United States and Canada who are diagnosed with cancer grows. The childhood cancer survivor rate is also growing, thanks to medical advances. These factors combined mean more children and families are navigating the long-term health complications that result from childhood cancer. Specialized oncology camps are an essential part of the healing process.

Care Camps is dedicated to providing the opportunity for every child diagnosed with cancer, and their family members to experience the resiliency, joy and hope found when we connect with each other and the outdoors.
