My Story…

Camp Ooch holds a very special place in my heart. i started going to Camp Ooch in 2010. it was my first time away from home and my first time being somewhere without my sisters. Ooch is where i found my voice, i found who i was . i came out of my little shell that i was hiding in. i made lots of friends at camp and got to experience lots of new thing that i would have never gotten to do if i never went to camp. i found my love for canoeing, and have been on so many differnt canoe trips. my first year going to camp i was still on chemo. the great thing about camp is that they have a med ahead and i got my chemo at camp , and once i was done i went right back to the activity my cabin was at. it is now 2020 and i am a volunteer. words can not describe how much fun it is to be a volunteer!! this will be my third year as a volunteer and every year it just keeps getting better and better. Camp lets kids be kids. i want each kid to have the same experience but better!!

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!
