My Story
Our son's progress through Bartók's "Mikrokosmos" was very rudely interrupted by a brain tumour diagnosed when he was 6 years old. Plenty of medical intervention and several summers at Campfire Circle got him back on his feet, and even helped him master "Winter Solstice Dance" for his Grade 7 piano exam!
Like other Campfire Circle families, we've never had to pay a thing for our son's many summers of outdoor bliss. But even with a horde of amazing volunteers, this experience does not come cheap for kids with special needs or on chemotherapy. Maybe a few of your hard-earned dollars for Campfire Circle can help other kids & their families make it through a very tough time? Trust me, amazing things can happen there. And most importantly...there's a piano in the barn!
Thanks for your support. -Kenton
Description
Help bring joy and laughter to kids affected by cancer or serious illness
A diagnosis of childhood cancer or serious illness changes life in an instant. For kids and families, their schedule suddenly revolves around medical appointments and hospital stays, with long absences from school. There is no time for simple joys like friendships, birthday parties or sport activities.
Campfire Circle is passionate about helping kids to just be kids, once again. By supporting their in-hospital, community and overnight camp programs, you will help bring joy and laughter to kids and families during their most challenging times, at no cost to them.
As part of the Campfire Circle community, you are helping to create opportunities year-round for kids to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall wellbeing.
More than a thousand kids were diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic—the need is greater now more than ever. Your support ensures that Campfire Circle’s critical camp-inspired programs will reach even more kids and families across Ontario. Your gift makes life-changing experiences possible.
Thank you for helping to build a world where children thrive and families heal.
