Camp Quality

Camp Quality brings positivity, fun and laughter back into the lives of kids facing cancer.
We are there for kids (0-15 years) dealing with their own cancer diagnosis, or the diagnosis of a sibling or parent, every step of the way.
Our services and programs help families build optimism and resilience by building supportive communities, giving families the chance to reconnect at one of our Family Getaways following a long hospital stay, providing a fun break from cancer at a Family or Kids’ Camp and empowering children by busting cancer myths with our age appropriate education programs performed by the Camp Quality puppets.
Our services also include digital resources and counselling, accessible whenever and wherever they are needed. We’re proud to have improved the quality of life for kids impacted by cancer, and their families for over 40 years.
