WHAT IS CAMP QUALITY?
Camp Quality
is a week long camping experience and year round support system
for children with cancer and their families. Each child is assigned
a companion who provides support and encouragement during the
week. They spend twenty-four hours a day together which usually
results in friendships that last long after camp has ended.
Our goal at Camp Quality is to provide these special children
the opportunity to experience new and exciting activities in a
medically safe environment. We offer the opportunity to make new
friends and create fun memories that will sustain them in the
weeks and months ahead as they continue their medical treatments.
Camp Quality is a volunteer, non-profit organization. There is
never a cost to our campers or their families. We depend totally
on the generosity of individuals, business, organizations, and
foundations acting out of concern for these children.
Founded and established in 1983 in Sydney, Australia, there are
now over 55 locations world wide in 19 countries. The United States
has 15 camps for children with cancer located in 11 states.
