Our story…

Angel Shiven has inspired us to run again for #TeamShiven on Sunday, May 12, 2019 - Mother's Day! This will be our 4th year! Camp Ooch continues to brighten the lives of children affected with cancer and their families - in-hospital, in-city and in Muskoka and through their bereavement program. Shiven had the good fortune of attending Day Camp at Camp Ooch (thanks to Camp Robin Hood, Markham) during the summer of 2015. He created beautiful unexpected friendships and created amazing memories. Through Camp Ooch’s tremendous efforts, the kids were able to partake in various activities – including archery, swimming, bowling, playing baseball, singing, kayaking, and making arts and crafts. I am thankful for the friendships Shiven made – thereby creating some new bonds for me.

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.
