About Us

Camp Quality Northwestern Ontario is a volunteer driven non-profit charitable organization that provides free fun camp experiences for children affected by cancer and blood disorders and their families. We facilitate a 1-week overnight camp program, hosted at Wilderness Discovery on Lake Shebandowan. Our overnight camp programs serve campers between the ages of 7 – 17. We are seeking enthusiastic and motivated volunteers for our summer camp program.

Overnight Summer Camp

Our overnight camp programs give kids affected by cancer and rare blood disorders a chance to just be kids! What’s unique about Camp Quality? Our campers are matched 1:1 with a volunteer Companion (Camp Counsellor) who is there to support them throughout the week. While we do everything in groups at camp for safety, this 1:1 matching provides both campers and caregivers with a level of assurance that their child is well taken care of. Each campsite is a little bit different, but you can expect many classic camp activities, like swimming, sports and games, arts and crafts and more! Our year-round Camp Organizing Committee volunteers plan the schedule and activities for the week.

Camp Week Dates: July 8 -July 15, 2023
