Camp Quality
Camp Quality has seven camps across Canada and runs year-round programs. Our year-round program includes family weekends, reunions and fun days for the whole family. Our signature week-long camping program provides a wonderfully unique opportunity for children with cancer to put their illness behind them and concentrate on having fun! Each camper is matched with a trained adult volunteer and medical staff is on-site. Established in 1988, Camp Quality’s programmes provide children with the opportunity to try new and old activities and to make new friends and memories that will last forever! Camp Quality also encompasses a Puppet Program where life-size puppets visit nearly 17,000 children each year in local area schools to encourage sensitivity about cancer and its effects.
