My Story...

Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium is a place where honest magic happens. If you know me, then you know how much Ooch means to me, and how much the experience I was able to have while working there in 2019 changed me in some ways. The pandemic has really affected the way that camp functions, however the staff have worked super hard to bring families up to camp for the summer. Anyways, honestly it would mean a lot to me if you could help out my team with a donation for camp Ooch & Camp Trillium. The more kids that get to come experience the magic at camp, the better!

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.

Please consider making a donation to my fundraising efforts—your gift will make a world of difference!

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