My Story…

For 15 years Camp Ooch has been a part of our family. I can’t begin to thank the amazing staff, volunteers and donors that have helped support and enrich my children’s lives. No child should have to grow up in a hospital bed where medical procedures are common place. Camp Ooch is the place where kids like Connor can be free to run and play and swim just like every other 6 year old. Camp is also the place to help bereaved siblings know that they are not alone. So I am walking the Sportinglife 10k this Mother’s Day to give back to the place that has made such a difference in the lives of my children and so many children like them! Beausant!

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.
