cancer can just be kids, and families connect with a community of strength and support
when they need it the most.

So much more than a summer camp—we offer the social cure for childhood cancer. Our
camp-inspired programs deliver fun, friendship, and community to children and families at
no cost to them year-round, all across Ontario.
