Camp Quality
Camp Quality brings positivity, fun and laughter back into the lives of kids facing cancer.
Our programs and services help families build optimism and resilience through community, education and fun. We are there for kids (0-15) dealing with their own cancer diagnosis, or the
diagnosis of a sibling or parent, every step of the way.
Our programs are Camp Quality-run events and hospital support. Our services are 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 almost 40 years.
