About Our HikeKnown as the tallest peak in the Northeast, and home to the world’s worst weather, hiking Mount Washington is an incredible feat. Despite its challenges, its scenic views of the spectacular White Mountains make it one of the best hikes in New Hampshire. As 2024 Summit Seekers, we will take on this challenging 8-mile round-trip hike on Saturday, June 1, 2024, in honor of National Cancer Survivors Day. As part of our challenge, each hiker has committed to raise $1,000 to help send 1 child to one of our free camps for an entire week. |  |
 | Why We're HikingEach member of our Summit Seekers team is hiking Mount Washington 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. |

Kids spend time making amazing memories with other kids who understand, and parents enjoy a week of respite, knowing that their child is in good hands. Every program is provided at no cost to our families, including bus transportation, meals, and snacks.
