Our Story

We are a group of CAMPFIRE CIRCLE (formerly Camp Ooch + Camp Trillium) volunteers and some of the luckiest people on the planet who get to experience the magic of camp alongside our amazing campers.

One of our traditions at CAMPFIRE CIRCLE is that when we see a camper doing something nice, challenging or brave we give them a "step in the right direction" — a sticker to add to their braid and a public shout-out for a job well done.

This year, we are challenging ourselves to run, walk and roll a few kilometres in the right direction in support of CAMPFIRE CIRCLE. Past and current volunteers are welcome to join our team in fundraising and with all the fun we will have along the way!

Thanks for the day campers!

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 participation in the Sporting Life 10K 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.
