My Story…

I have been a passionate volunteer for 9 years, I've met some amazing campers, camper families, volunteers, and staff. I have seen the first hand magic that can happen at Ooch. I have volunteered in the Teen Program, WAC, Ooch on the 8th at Sick Kids Hospital, Family programs, and yearly Session 1 in the summer. As my close friends know, Panda became my legal middle name after a very special little camper who first called me Panda moved on. Your gracious donation makes a difference in the lives of so many, thank you for visiting my page and donating. Panda.

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.
