My Story…

If you know me, you know my passion for Camp Ooch!! The challenging times we face today have impacted us all in so many ways. For Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium it has meant that we have shifted from in-person Camp experiences to virtual Camp experiences. We are reaching hundreds of Campers and their families each week through virtual programs. Now, more than ever, Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium Campers need the fun and connection of camp. Please consider making a donation, however big or small; it makes a difference. This year I will be participating in the Virtual SL10 by walking 10K in support of this amazing organization.

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!
