COCA-I is strengthening the international community of camps for children with cancer and their families through networking, education, and advocacy since 1982. COCA-I member camps proudly served the needs of over 35,500 campers in 2014.
 
 

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

  • Each year, the parents of approximately 15,600 kids will hear the words “your child has cancer.” That’s 1 in 285 children will be diagnosed with cancer. That’s one kid diagnosed with cancer every 2 minutes
  • Despite major advances – from an overall survival rate of 10 percent just fifty years ago to nearly 90 percent today, for many rare cancers, the survival rate is much lower.
  • The number of diagnosed cases annually has not declined in nearly 20 years.

More Than Playing With Kids: How to Tell the Story of Camp

 

Looking for donations? Recruiting staff? Convincing a hesitant parent to send their child to camp? Need to occupy a few minutes with campers in between activities? In all of these scenarios, we can better connect with our audience through stories. During this webinar, participants will learn a simple six-step process that will make their storytelling richer and more effective. This webinar is designed to help camp staff, from counselors to executive directors, understand the structure of a great story--be it one-sentence marketing elevator pitch or a 30-minute adventurous tale told around a campfire during evening program.
