Kids' Camps
Kids’ Camps mean children impacted by cancer get to enjoy the fun times that childhood should be all about: friends, adventure and laughter.
The routine of hospital stays and treatment often means families no longer get the chance to spend quality time together.
Camp Quality Family Camps give back some of that precious time. It’s a much-needed opportunity for families to reconnect with each other and share the ongoing experiences they face with others in a similar situation.
These wonderful camps not only help families develop resilience towards their cancer experience, they often help forge lifelong friendships, too. Camp volunteers are on hand to help parents relax by keeping their kids entertained and safe.
Our Family Camps also support kids impacted by the cancer diagnosis of a loved one, whether it’s a parent, a carer or a sibling, as their needs can often be overlooked, and they sometimes miss out on moments of carefree childhood fun.
If you have a child aged 15 years or under facing cancer, or you’re a parent or primary carer diagnosed with cancer and have a child 15 years or under in your household, you are eligible to register with Camp Quality.
