Camp Quality is a non profit organisation that is committed to bringing hope and happiness to every child living with cancer, their families and communities through ongoing quality recreational, educational, hospital and financial support programs.
Camp Quality passionately believes in the power of fun in helping children and their families overcome the challenges that cancer brings.
Fun flows through everything we do, from our programs to our philosophies. Camp Quality provides fun therapy for every child living with cancer and their families.
Camp Quality is an international charity with the first office being established in 1983 in Sydney, Australia.
There are 14 offices throughout Australia covering every state and territory.
Over 5,000 families each year are supported by Camp Quality; they participate in our camps and other activities. Nationally there will be approximately 240 camps and recreational activities held in Australia in 2007.
An additional 250,000 children annually are reached by Camp Quality through the McDonald's Camp Quality Puppet Program. This is a fun and interactive educational program where life-size puppets help children to become more aware of the need to be caring and supportive of other children who have major illnesses such as cancer.
Camp Quality gives a child with cancer the opportunity to be a child again by providing enjoyment and a positive atmosphere. This positive atmosphere quite often gives them the courage to continue on through treatment.
Camp Quality gives the families of children with cancer a much-needed break. The impact of the diagnosis and treatment places tremendous stress on parents and siblings.
Camp Quality's programs are focussed to care for the emotional needs of children and their families. As they face the 'bad days' and celebrate the good ones; a support network of peers provides tremendous strength and hope.
Camp Quality is all about fun therapy as Laughter is the Best Medicine |
