Starting your own business and picking the right niche in no time

Want to start a team? Or were you on one of our awesome teams last year, and you want to register again? It's easy. Click the Register button above, If you are a Team Captain, register yourself and everyone in your family who plans to participate, and then send this link to other members of your team. Once your team is registered, we'll send you the link to set up your Crowdrise fundraising page so you can start making the magic happen for the grieving kids you're supporting.  

How Does This Work?

FIRST YOU NEED A CAPTAIN
Everyone has this friend in their friend group. It’s the guy who always rallies the others to get off the couch and head out for a drink. It’s the mom who remembers to sign all of her kids’ school forms and never accidentally leaves a kid waiting at an after school activity. It’s that person that is often referred to as the “mayor” of whatever circle you run in. This is the person that brings the energy, makes sure that everyone has a blast, and believes that YOU ARE CHAMPIONS.

 

THEN YOU NEED A TEAM
The team is made up of 12-20 participants who will compete in competitions ranging from relay races to plank competitions. You’ll want to recruit your team members wisely. Finding a mix of athletic prowess, creative genius, and barely tolerable enthusiasm is no easy feat.

 

NOW IT’S TIME TO GET TO WORK
The team captain is ultimately accountable for getting it done, but this is absolutely a team effort. Here’s a preview of what you’ll need to do:

LOGISTICS
Register your team (Team Captain) - You'll need a rockin’ team name. Something that really captures your essence.
Create your fundraising page in Crowdrise. Each team must raise a minimum of $1,000 to be eligible to compete.
Each team member (kids too!) must register individually for the team they are joining.
SPIRIT
Put together a spirit squad. This is a great place to make use of your creative friends (and young kids). 
Plan out your team decorations, t-shirt styling, tutus, face paint, and more! 
Get EXCITED!! This is going to be EPIC.


WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A CHAMPION
Each team will compete in 5 rounds of competition. Each event will have points allocated and will be awarded based on the rules of the competition.
In addition, points will be given to the team with the BEST SPIRIT, as determined by our judges.
Points will also be awarded to the final tally for total funds raised, based on a percent of the total.
The CHAMPION will be announced at closing ceremonies and awarded the soon-to-be-legendary DAY OF CHAMPIONS TROPHY!


WHO ULTIMATELY WINS
The 700 children who will attend an Experience Camp in one of 5 locations around the country next summer. Each one of them has experienced the loss of a parent, sibling, or primary caregiver that has changed their lives forever. They often feel alone and like nobody understands...until they get to camp. And then they are surrounded by other kids who “get it” and they finally realize that all of these feelings they’re having are normal. It is powerful, transformative, joyful, and healing. It is the best week of the year for each child who attends. And that’s the reason we’re doing this.

Let's 'RISE.

 We ask that each team raise a minimum of $1,000 to compete in the Day of Champions. We think you can raise a lot more. To get started, Team Captains need to create a Crowdrise Team page.  

Click the link below, then JOIN and then CREATE YOUR OWN TEAM. Once you do, add your own story and WHY YOU CARE. Help your friends and family and colleagues and strangers understand whey THEY should care.

Share your team page with your fellow team members and see how !

About Experience Camps

No child should suffer alone. Experience Camps are free, one-week camps for boys and girls who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or primary caregiver. It's a place where kids can laugh, cry, play, create, remember the person who died, or forget the grief that weighs them down. It's a place where they can feel "normal", because everyone there has been through something similar and understands what it's like to lose someone important to them. It's a home away from home. And just about everyone will tell you..."It's the best week of the year".
