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.
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
In 2023, we provided:

Thank you all!"
