Our story…

Camp Ooch is about excellent people, bringing fun and love into the lives of children with cancer and their families. My son, Nate, was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma cancer in 2009 and was in treatment for 5 years. As of February 2018, he is now 6 years free of cancer. During his treatment, Camp Ooch provided him with many opportunities to forget about treatment and to smile. Now that he is older, he enjoys overnight camp in the winter and going away for two weeks in the summer. As a family, we all get to have fun at various Ooch events -- we all get to make memories together as a family. For this, we are eternally grateful.

Description

Help send kids affected by childhood cancer to Camp Ooch!

Camp Oochigeas (Ooch) provides children with and affected by childhood cancer with what they need most – the chance to be kids. Ooch is the only overnight camp in Canada to offer on-site IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions.  Often referred to as the social cure for cancer, we offer programs year-round in Muskoka, at SickKids, and various other cancer centres and cities across Ontario. 

As a registered charity that receives no government funding, Ooch relies exclusively on the generous support of fundraisers, individuals and corporate donors, like you.

Ooch changes the lives of over 1,500 kids affected by childhood cancer every year.  However, 79% of kids with cancer in Ontario still can't go to Camp.  You can help change that!

Cancer changes a child's life.  So does Camp.  And so can you.
