Hit the trail for Camp Quality
A prolonged illness can take a toll on any family, but when the affected person is a child, that burden seems almost too much to bear. Childhood gets lost in the maze of treatment and hospitalization; no one’s having much fun. But all is not lost. Camp Quality was established in Sydney, Australia, in 1983 and now has over 50 locations worldwide including 12 in the United States. It provides a camping experience for children with cancer and a year-round support program for their families. Children ages 6 to 16 who are able to spend a week away from their families or the hospital are invited to attend Camp Quality. It gives them a chance to enjoy the activities other kids enjoy, and it gives their families a much-needed break. |
