My Story…

I run in memory of my angel, my eldest daughter, Savannah, every year. During our hospital stay, Camp Ooch was the light we needed on some of our harder days. The volunteers are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, always full of joy and ready to make the children happy no matter what it took! Now my daughter Victoria has found a second family in Camp Ooch! She looks forward to all Camp Ooch activities, especially the week long summer camp in Muskoka! There is where she reconnects with other bereaved families; where they all understand each other. This has helped her cope tremendously! And the volunteers are always so amazing! Thank you Camp Ooch!! And thank you in advance for your donations! 💚

Description

Help send kids affected by childhood cancer to Camp Ooch!

A diagnosis of childhood cancer is a big, scary, sudden swerve in the road, changing life in an instant. 

For affected families, it can feel like everything is about cancer. Simple, childhood joys like friendships, birthday parties, or sports teams are left behind in the need for medical appointments, hospital stays, and long absences from school.

For over 35 years, Camp Ooch has offered a different path – the healing power of fun, friendship and self-confidence, and the joy of kids getting to just be kids! 

Often referred to as the social cure for cancer, Ooch provides programming at an overnight camp in Muskoka, at SickKids in Toronto, in specialized paediatric centres and in communities across Ontario. Camp Ooch is the only overnight camp in Canada to offer onsite IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions. 

Camp Ooch is a privately funded, volunteer-based organization that relies exclusively on the generous support of fundraisers, corporate donors and individuals, like you.

Ooch changes the lives of over 1,500 kids affected by childhood cancer every year. However, almost 80% of kids with cancer in Ontario don’t have access to the wonders of camp. You can help change that.

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