COCA - Providing Education, Networking and Advocacy for Pediatric Oncology Camps
|
“The town halls and webinars provided concrete medical and logistical information, but it also became a rich source of motivation for moving our programs to virtual.”
|
COCA-I was instrumental in Camp Happy Days shift to virtual programming. They were at the forefront of virtual camps and through town halls, webinars, and a virtual conference we were able to provide a virtual experience for our campers that they will never forget!"
|
"COCA-I was a godsend to Special Love’s virtual efforts in 2020. In a year when even the most seasoned oncology camps were forced into a position of “starting from scratch,” COCA-I led the way and helped us traverse the uncharted territory of virtual camp arm-in-arm. The post-camp survey results reflected our success, and we couldn’t have done it without COCA-I."
