Children with cancer, their siblings, and families all benefit in dramatic ways to the pediatric oncology camping experience. COCA-I is very fortunate to be able to count among active members many oncology camping experts, pediatric oncology professionals, and leaders in the field of researching the benefits of oncology camps.
