My Story...
I truly cannot think of a more magical place than Camp Ooch and Camp Trillium. Camp gives children and their families who have been affected by childhood cancer the ability to be a normal kid. Seeing a kid come to camp on day one shy and scared, and leaving at the end of the two weeks the chattiest most outgoing kid ever is nothing short of amazing - that is what camp does for these kids. They have the opportunity to no longer be the kid with cancer, instead they are just a kid. The past three years I have spent volunteering with Ooch have completely changed my life, and I am so lucky to be able to support such an amazing organization.
Description
A diagnosis of childhood cancer changes life in an instant.
For affected kids and families, it can suddenly feel like everything is about cancer. Camp Ooch offers a hopeful journey, where kids with cancer can just be kids, and families connect with a community of strength and support when they need it the most.
They are much more than a summer camp—they offer the social cure for childhood cancer. Their camp-inspired programs deliver fun, friendship, and community to 1,900 kids and 745 families year-round, all across Ontario. As a response to COVID-19, virtual camp and in-hospital programs continue to reach kids and families living in isolation, wherever they are.

Cancer changes a child’s life. So does camp. And so can you.
