My Story…

As a childhood cancer survivor for almost 13 years, I have had the privilege of attending Camp Oochigeas as a camper for several years. I've been on a week long canoeing trip, dog sledding, weekend retreats, young adult conferences and so much more. This place and the friends that I have made there, have a special place in my heart. Camp Ooch gave me the chance to explore and understand myself beyond the cancer. I hope that with your donation, it will allow other children to do the same as well :)

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.
