Camp Oochigeas

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

A diagnosis of childhood cancer is a big, scary, sudden swerve in the road, changing life in an instant. 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 overnight camp, in specialized paediatric cancer centres and in communities across Ontario, including right here in Ottawa. Camp Ooch is the only overnight camp in Canada to offer onsite IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions. 

As a registered charity that receives no government funding, Ooch relies exclusively on the generous support of fundraisers, individuals and corporate donors, like you.  

Ooch changes the lives of over 1,500 kids affected by childhood cancer every year.  However, 80% of kids with cancer in Ontario still can't go to Camp.  We need your support so that every child affected by childhood cancer has the opportunity to experience the Magic of Ooch.

A $2,000 donation gives one child with cancer one week at Camp Ooch filled with magical experiences that last a lifetime.
