For me, the magic of Camp Quality is experiencing the joy of seeing a truly worry-free and happy child. The camp’s one-on-one format (one companion for each camper) makes it easy to focus on the individual needs and interests of the camper while developing a lasting friendship. My experience with Camp Quality has been one of the most memorable and rewarding ones of my life and I encourage any and all who wish to make a real difference to a child and their family to get involved. You won’t regret it!

Camp Quality is a summer camp for children with cancer -- and more. It crystalizes a year-round support program for the children and their families.

Unfortunately, many children in our communities have cancer. Camp Quality offers them a program of unique depth, backed by almost 20 years of experience. This is a totally volunteer effort, funded solely by the community.

Camp Quality has three benefits:

For a week, it lets kids be kids
It supports children with a year-round "big brother/sister" companion
The companion program gives family members a much-needed break.

Almost all of us have been touched by cancer. Our adult friends or relatives may have cancer. We know how hard it is for adults to bear. Imagine what it is like for children.

Camp Quality was started in 1983. There are now 57 camps in 20 countries, and they have served 30,000 kids. 5 of these camps are in Canada. All helpers at the camp including the medical staff are volunteers, who have been carefully screened. There is no government funding.
