Our Story

At Campfire Circle, kids are given the chance to just be kids—to laugh, play, build friendships, and create lasting memories in a supportive and understanding environment. It’s a mission that really resonates with us as educators who care deeply about children’s well-being, happiness, and sense of belonging.


As we prepare for the race, we’re also fundraising to support this meaningful work. If you are able to contribute, any donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward helping Campfire Circle continue to provide these life-changing experiences.


Thank you for helping us make a difference beyond our classroom!





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.
