My Story…

I am fortunate to have spent the last 30 summers sharing the love and laughter, sunshine and stars with the incredible kids and counselors that create the magic of Camp Ooch. Whether up in Muskoka, at the Hospital for Sick Children or at Ooch Downtown, I've had the privilege of being part of the community whose goal is to bring more camp to more kids. While we can't be together in person, now more than ever, these kids need our help. Please join me in support of this amazing organization and help ensure our kids get the fun and friendship they need to help get through these incredibly challenging times. Kids still need camp and I still need your support. With heartfelt thanks, Bevalah

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!
