Our Impact
With more kids diagnosed with cancer surviving, the childhood cancer survivor population in Canada is growing. Camp Quality is here to provide support for children diagnosed with cancer and their families.
Goals That Make a Difference
At Camp Quality, our goal is to help kids with cancer and their siblings:
-
Develop a positive self-identity by taking on challenges and trying new things
-
Build independence by helping kids foster a sense of adventure and exploration
-
Build social skills through opportunities to interact and connect with other children with similar experiences to them
-
Build resilience and strength by encouraging kids to push their comfort zones
Impact (& FUN) Under the Stars
We asked Campers, Parents and Caregivers how camp impacted them. In 2025 we found:
82%
92%
90%
85%
of campers reported feeling more independent.
of campers experienced growth in at least one of our four key program outcomes
of campers said they made at least one new friend
said their camper feels more connected to a community
% is calculated by those who report "agree" and "strongly agree" on each of the statements.
When we asked about the power and magic of camp, Parents and Caregivers told us:
"My daughter struggled to make friends, as she spent most of her childhood in the hospital instead of in school. At Camp Quality, she met her BFF. Since camp, we have arranged time for the two girls to spend time together in order to strengthen their friendship."
"When the doctors told us that our son's days are numbered, as he is terminal and has a short life expectancy, they told us to make each day count, to focus on the quality of life. CQ does that to perfection. Every moment, and every staff member and volunteer involved, truly makes the quality of life the main focus of Camp Quality."
"CQ it’s an amazing organization that provides a fully immersed camp experience for critically ill children and their families. My daughter, who lost her brother to cancer last year, was able to participate in the summer camp. Attending this camp allowed her to meet other children in the same situation as her or going through similar scenario. The staff and participants were all very welcoming and made her summer camp experience once she will never forget."
