My Story
Camp campfire circle (formally known as Camp Ooch) is my home away from home. It is a place that has helped me become a stronger cancer survivor and every kid deserves the chance to experience the wonderfulness that is Camp. Every donation that you make to my teams run helps so many campers get the chance to get away from being “different” and experience something amazing. Your donations help campers enjoy a summer with fun, music, arts and crafts, water sports, and the chance to meet other amazing people going through similar experiences. The best part is getting to make life long relationships which I myself have done! Thank you for donating and please spread the word!
Description
Childhood cancer changes lives. So does camp. And so can you.
A diagnosis of childhood cancer changes life in an instant. For kids and families, it can suddenly feel like everything is about cancer. Simple childhood joys like friendships, birthday parties, or sports teams being left behind in the need for medical appointments, hospital stays, and long absences from school.
Whether it’s in a hospital setting, in the community, online or at overnight camp, CAMPFIRE CIRCLE* fills the void, creating safe spaces for kids to be kids, so families can be families, at no cost to them.
It’s where curiosity and confidence, bravery and acceptance come to play, and healing through happiness is on the agenda, every day, and in every way! Kids and families are never alone, because there’s always room for one more in the circle.
Your support of Sporting Life 10K ensures that CAMPFIRE CIRCLE’S programs continue to reach 1,700 kids and their families every year. Your gift will make life-changing experiences possible.
*Did you know that Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium merged in 2020, and that we have a new name? Announcing … CAMPFIRE CIRCLE! We aren’t changing what we do—we're just changing our name.
