MGHCC Adolescent and Young Adult Program

Check out this FREE, virtual summer camp/conference from Next Step for young people ages 16-24 living with a chronic illness! The first campference session will be "Cancer", which will be held June 24-26th.

Next Step Campference combines the fun and camaraderie of camp with the focus and resourcefulness of a conference. It's a judgment-free zone where you and other young adults who've been impacted by chronic illness can learn from, share with, and advocate for each other.

At campference, you can expect to make connections, and feel the relief of being surrounded by other young adults that “get it.” Through workshops designed by your peers, community-building activities, and expressive arts (no talent required!)--you can not only grow but be yourself and use your voice.

On October 3rd, join national orgs for learning, support, and community-building. This free half-day conference includes educational and social breakout sessions as well as opportunities to build community and strengthen your toolkit for getting through and beyond cancer as a young adult.
