Camp Quality’s Child Life Therapists help kids deal with being in hospital by teaching them playful techniques to understand medical procedures and coping skills proven to reduce anxiety. Therapists will stay by a child’s side throughout their time at hospital and form strong bonds that can help the whole family.

Family Camp

Camp Quality's Family Camps provide kids dealing with cancer – and their families – with the opportunity to get away from it all, to laugh, make friends and have awesome new adventures. Medical volunteers are always on hand to ensure health needs are cared for and parents can relax.

Puppet Playdates

Camp Quality Puppet Playdates bring fun and distraction to Camp Quality kids isolated by cancer. The Camp Quality Programs Team is also there to answer questions, provide support and care, and routinely put smiles on faces!

Puppet Digital Playdates

Puppet Digital Playdates bring the fun and distraction of the Camp Quality Puppets online. Kids can connect live with one of the much-loved puppets via a 10 minute online ‘playdate’ using their personal device such as a smartphone or tablet.

Family Fun Days

Family Fun Days give families the chance to get together and enjoy a day out: surf school, whale watching or a day at the farm… it’s about reconnecting, meeting new friends and making happy memories. Plus, it’s all free of charge.

Junior Camp

A special camp for 7 to 9 year olds to experience time away from their parents, make new friends, test their camping skills, and have a barrel-load of fun! Each child has a dedicated Camp Companion.

Kids' Camps

Kids’ Camps are run in every state and they are the perfect way for a child to have a break from the reality of dealing with cancer, to meet new friends and make happy new memories with a dedicated Camp Companion at their side.

Mini Camp

Mini Camps are designed to give younger kids a taste of the great grubby outdoors, without the sleepover bit. Packed with great activities for children aged 4 to 6, Mini Camps are full of fun, friends and laughter.

Middle Camp

Middle Camp is a camp for 10-12 year-olds bursting with fun, creative and challenging activities for kids dealing with cancer. Camps give children the release of outdoor play, mates to laugh with, and adventures that are the stuff of glorious new memories. Kids also learn important skills, returning home with increased confidence and resilience.

Retreats

It’s essential for families impacted by cancer to be able to relax, unwind and spend quality time away from the intensity of their cancer experience. Camp Quality offers families a safe space to retreat together at Coffs Harbour and Salamander Bay (NSW), Warrnambool (VIC) and West Beach Caravan Park (SA).

Kids' Guide to Cancer

Our Kids’ Guide to Cancer app is a world first, award-winning app that supports kids who have a parent, sibling, friend, or loved one with cancer. It’s a free, interactive educational program that answers the most common questions children have about cancer, in a language they understand.

Family Experiences

Our Family Experiences are about giving families an opportunity to have an unforgettable time and create bright new memories, like cheering on a footy match, or going for a whirl on the rides at Luna Park, all for free!

Primary School Cancer Education Program

Our travelling puppet shows for preschools and primary schools answer the difficult questions kids have about cancer.

Beads of Courage

Used to track each hospital procedure children have to go through, the Beads of Courage program at Sydney Children’s Hospital in Randwick is a badge of honour for kids dealing with cancer, with beads collected into bright strings and proudly shown off to tell each courageous story.

New Normal Navigator

This app will help mums, dads and other carers of a child diagnosed with cancer navigate the return home from hospital. It is packed with tips from families who have ‘been there’, useful articles and great fun therapy ideas. The app will personalise to you and your needs and connect you to relevant info and support services. Download for free today!

Kids Impacted by a Carer’s Cancer (KICC)

When a child has a parent or carer who is diagnosed with cancer, they can miss out on the simple fun of childhood. At Camp Quality we have identified the need to support these children.

Happiness Hub

Our Happiness Hub is the online home for Camp Quality’s services and programs. The Hub offers kids isolated by cancer treatment, hospitalisation, or living rurally, access to Puppet Power videos, kids’ activities and virtual book readings. The Hub also includes wellbeing resources for parents from Camp Quality’s social enterprise, the ORANGES Toolkit.

Virtual Camps

Virtual Camps bring the fun, positivity and connection of a camp experience online for Camp Quality kids aged 7-14. These camps mean kids isolated by cancer, due to treatment, location or ongoing health concerns, don't miss out on Kids' Camp. Virtual Camps are hosted for up to 50 kids on Zoom. A Camp Leader and the Camp Quality Puppets take kids on an interactive live-streamed adventure, supported by Camp Quality companions, where they choose from a range of activities.

Parenting Through Cancer

Camp Quality has joined forces with Canteen to launch the Parenting Through Cancer website. This provides a safe online space where parents of children, teens and young adults, aged up to 25 years, can access free professional telephone counselling and online support.
