The Camps
"We see camp as an important element in the treatment
of children with cancer."
Dr. John Doyle, The Hospital for Sick Children
In Canada, over 10,000 children live with cancer or its long
term effects. Another 1,400 children begin the road to survivorship
each year. It’s an exhausting journey that can displace
many childhood joys.
Your participation in Tour For Kids raises awareness and
funds for three extraordinary camp organizations that help
these children and their families build confidence, courage
and friendships. With multiple locations staffed by health
care professionals, volunteers and camp alumni, the camps
provide tremendous emotional support coupled with various
degrees of essential medical attention. The single greatest
miracle these retreats provide is enabling children to escape
the shadows of cancer treatment and feel the thrill of being
just another kid.
"…no one really pays attention to the fact that
you have cancer because everyone does."
