About Our HikeThe Presidential Traverse, nestled in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, is an iconic hike that spans over 20 miles. It challenges hikers with unpredictable weather conditions, over 9000 feet of elevation, and panoramic views of the majestic Presidential Range. This formidable trek is not for the faint of heart, demanding serious endurance, navigation skills, and significant experience hiking the Whites. As 2024 Camp Champions, we will take on this challenging hike June 1-2, 2024, crossing 11 peaks over just 2 days. As part of our challenge, each hiker has committed to raise $2,000, enough to send 1 child to one of our free camps for an entire week. |  |
 | Why We're HikingEach member of our Camp Champion team is hiking the epic Presidential Traverse to send a childhood cancer survivor to Camp Casco in 2024. Our free camps and community programs for New England kids surviving cancer include all essentials, including meals, lodging, 1:1 counselor support, and round-the-clock medical care. Our programs foster peer connections, self-esteem, resilience, and a return to the joy, wonder, and adventure of childhood. Through this program, we'll gain a unique glimpse into the magic of camp: the opportunity to see how capable we are, the chance to try something new, and the understanding that even the hardest challenges, like cancer, are made easier with friends by your side. |
