My Story…

This will be our 7th year participating in this amazing cause. I’m so excited to be part of this awesome team that all started with our courageous little Mateja, who was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma at just five months old. Both her and her parents spent the majority of her first year at SickKids. Both Ivana and Tommy will attest to the incredible staff during this difficult time. This is our way of not only giving back, but also giving others who are going through this challenging time an opportunity to have some fun; to for a moment, forget the tests, the treatments and to feel like a regular kid again. Camp Ooch is a privately funded charity that brings joy to kids affected by childhood cancer. They have many programs that serve both within the hospital and in an overnight camp setting. Today, Mateja is both healthy and cancer free. Please consider supporting us and help us put a smile on the face of a child who is facing their own difficult journey.

Description

Kids affected by childhood cancer still need the chance to just be kids!

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 powers 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 1,900 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.

We still run for Ooch!
