Mission Statement
Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Ooch and Camp Trillium) provides healing through happiness for kids with cancer or serious illness and their families. We offer life-changing, camp-inspired, and medically supported programs that promote resilience, well-being, and social connectedness. Our vision is a world where children thrive and families heal.
About This Cause
For over 40 years, Campfire Circle has brought healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families. Through our in-hospital, community, and overnight camp programs, we create opportunities for children to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. By providing play-based experiences, we empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis. When a child is diagnosed with cancer or serious illness, it impacts the whole family. Kids miss out on simple childhood joys, household incomes are often cut in half as caregivers take on the full-time responsibility of caring for a sick child, and families struggle to make time for special experiences. But thanks to our generous donors and community partners, our programs are fully accessible and offered at no cost to families. We are proud to work with leading paediatric healthcare partners across Ontario to bring our camp-inspired experiences to children receiving treatment in hospitals, often at their bedside, all year round. And our medically supported overnight camps ensure that even the most fragile children can experience the joy and freedom that comes from being at camp.
