Cancer Connection Camp-IN!!


After a decade of cold-weather camping on the courthouse lawn, and after raising over $100,000 for the Cancer Connection last year, Monte has decided to CANCEL the Cancer Connection Campout.

BUT! This year, Monte and YOU can raise money for The Cancer Connection and experience the sweet life INSIDE the luxurious Hotel Northampton. The Cancer Connection Camp-IN! A Glampout. A glamourous Jerry-Lewis style telethon with tuxedos, ball gowns, “celebrity” guests, music, comedy, indoor plumbing, a dance party and a hotel room to rest your head after all the fun.

All the room keys are spoken for BUT you can support the “Campers” here:
