When a child is diagnosed with cancer or serious illness, it impacts the whole family. Kids miss out on simple childhood joys, household incomes are often cut in half as caregivers take on the full-time responsibility of caring for a sick child, and families struggle to make time for special experiences.
Since 1983, Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium) has brought healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families. Through our in-hospital, community, and medically supported overnight camp programs, we create opportunities for children to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. Through play-based experiences, we empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis.
Thanks to our generous donors and community partners, our programs are fully accessible and offered at no cost to families. Our medically supported overnight camps ensure that even the most fragile children can experience the joy and freedom that comes from being at camp.
When you support Campfire Circle, you are investing in a world where children thrive and families heal. Thank you for being part of our circle.
