Away from it all
Kids' Camps give children 4-13 years old facing cancer the chance to just be kids again. Kids experience time away from their parents, filled with friends who understand, new adventures and fun and optimism, to help build resilience and life skills. Medical volunteers ensure children's health needs are met. Each child has a dedicated volunteer Camp Companion to ensure they are supported and have the best time.
Family Camps bring Camp Quality families together to reconnect with each other and share the ongoing experiences they face with others who are in a similar situation. It's an opportunity to relax, make lifelong friendships and have experiences not centred on sickness

often for the first time since diagnosis. The presence of medical volunteers mean kids are always safe and parents can relax.
Kids Impacted by a Carer's Cancer (KICC) Camps: Camp Quality has recognised the need for a new program that supports children facing a parent's diagnosis. These camps allow children to make friendships with others in a similar situation and have a break from what can be a frightening reality.
Family Fun Days are free, one-day recreational events for families that provide a break from the stresses of cancer. They are an opportunity to do something memorable together with other families facing cancer, which they may otherwise be unable to afford or organise. Volunteers provide a safe, supportive environment.
Family Experiences: Camp Quality shares tickets to events, games, shows or experiences with our families free of charge. This gives them an opportunity to be together and create fun-filled memories.
Retreats give families dealing with the impact of a child or parent's cancer a holiday together. Our retreats are located at Salamander Bay (NSW), Warrnambool (VIC), BIG4 Park Beach Holiday Park located in NSW (Coffs Harbour) and West Beach Caravan Park (SA). A retreat provides a chance to relax, unwind and make precious positive memories, particularly during palliative care and in the heartbreaking case of bereavement.
Our Funeral Support Program provides help for bereaved families in extreme financial difficulty.
COVID-19 Vaccination PolicyCamp Quality requires all participants, volunteers and suppliers, over the age of 16, to be fully vaccinated prior to attending a Camp Quality camp or in person event.
Our policies are developed in line with government health department recommendations to ensure we are prioritising the safety and health of all participants, particularly those diagnosed with or undergoing treatment for cancer.
