Erin Stern, who received her Masters in Cancer Biology from Harvard University, will talk about the summer camp that she founded called Camp Casco, which welcomes Pediatric Cancer patients to spend one week where they can forget about their cancer battles

When Erin Stern was a teenager in San Diego, she worked one summer at a camp for Pediatric Cancer patients. Later, she went to Harvard University where she received her Masters in Cancer Biology. While there, she decided to start her own summer camp which she named Camp Casco.  This camp  welcomes children and adolescents ages 7-17 to come for one week during the summer to enjoy all of the activities, meet new friends, and most importantly, be able to spend time having fun and not thinking about all of the protocols that they have to go through while fighting their individual cancer battles.
