My Story…

What do kayaks, rock walls and pottery have in common? What about swimming and steps-in-the-right-direction? How could singing songs like Yah, Toast! and In the Lake have anything to do with persevering through a gruelling 10Km in Toronto (or Oro-Medonte)? Camp Oochigeas is the answer! I was a camper at Ooch for 10 years! I have the opportunity to give back next year in a new way. I am excited to say that I will be a camp counsellor!! The Oochigeas volunteer team is a huge part of the reason Oochigeas is able to help so many children. At Camp Ooch, campers have the opportunity to try new things and meet new people. Please donate and help me help others experience the magic of Ooch!

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!
