Our Story
We're running for our Nova - who is the bravest girl we know and absolutely loves Campfire Circle.
For the past three summers, Nova has been able to go to Rainbow Lake for five days of summer camp that just would not be possible without the wonderful, funny, compassionate and endlessly positive team at Campfire Circle. It's made a huge difference to her - camp is literally her favourite time of the year. This was us last year, with some of the volunteers who make the week truly special.
This organization is nothing short of incredible. We hope you'll consider supporting them too.
Description
Bring Joy, Friendship, and Connection to Kids Who Need It Most
Every day, thousands of kids across Ontario face cancer or serious illness – and miss out on the moments that make up childhood. Laughter, friendship, and adventure are replaced with hospital visits and isolation.
For 42 years, Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium) has brought healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families. Through our in-hospital, community, and overnight camp programs, we create opportunities for children to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. By providing play-based experiences, we empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis.
But today, more than 40,000 children in Ontario are living with serious illnesses. With your help, we can reach even more of them.
Our goal is to serve 10,000 kids by 2030, and when you donate to the Sporting Life 10K, you join a circle committed to that vision. Your generosity ensures every medically fragile child can experience Campfire Circle’s life-changing programs when they need it most, at no cost to their families.
Together, we can grow our circle of care and help deliver healing through happiness to more kids and families across Ontario.
