Camp Oochigeas

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

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 at Overnight Camp in Muskoka, at SickKids in Toronto, and various other cancer centres and cities across Ontario - including right here in Ottawa. 

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, including over 50 kids from the Ottawa region.  However, 79% of kids with cancer in Ontario still can't go to Camp.  We need your support so that every child affected by childhood cancer has the opportunity to experience the Magic of Ooch.

A $2,000 donation gives one child with cancer one week at Camp Ooch filled with magical experiences that last a lifetime.
