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 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.
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, including over 65 kids from the Ottawa region. However, almost 80% of kids with cancer in Ontario don’t have access to the wonders of camp.
Cancer changes a child's life. So does Camp. And so can you.
