Camp Quality Canada Details
WHO ARE WE?We are a volunteer driven national non-profit charitable organization that provides free uplifting camp experiences for children affected by cancer and blood disorders. Our philosophy is that together, we can do anything, be anything and achieve everything. We have the power to turn life's challenges into adventures.Our StoryCamp Quality Canada is part of an international family of organizations originally founded in Australia in 1983 by Vera Entwistle. Camp Quality was brought to Canada in 1988. It was initiated by a group of dedicated volunteers in Southern Ontario with the first camp being held in Priceville, Ontario. WHAT DO WE DO?Camp ProgramsOur six overnight camps in Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario are provided to children affected by cancer ages 4-17, including siblings! Our programs are exciting and provide a safe place for kids to build self-confidence, develop skills, make new friends, and have fun. At CQ, kids with cancer are free to define themselves without the stigma of illness. Campers attend the camp closest to them and are partnered with a companion (camp leader) to ensure they have the support they need at camp. We also provide experiences for young adult cancer survivors ages 18-29 through our Breaking Borders program. HOW DO WE DO IT?Our VolunteersOur camps and programs are fuelled by over 450 volunteers who give their time and talents. These volunteers include our companion counsellors who ensure campers have fun, our medical practitioners who ensure the safety of each child, the program and camp directors, who all come together to deliver our amazing programming.Our CommunityWe rely on the generosity of our community partners and donors. It is only through the generosity of individuals and organizations like these that we are able to send over 350 campers to camp each year for free.
