Family
Camp is an experience designed to give you a few
days of fun, play and relaxation. It is a chance
to "get away" for a few days with other families
who know what your experiences have been like. Attending
Family Camp will also give you an opportunity to
hear more about Oncology and Siblings Camps. |

One of the most important aspects of Family Camp is the
support and camaraderie gained by each parent. Here they
are able to meet other families and discover how they
have coped with the disease and how they have returned
to a normal family again. Many families have expressed
how invaluable the camp is and how they consider it the
highlight of their year. There are many new and lasting
friendships made during these weekends.
Medical staff from various hospitals will be on site during
Family Camp. Meals are planned and prepared by a qualified
cook and served family style, so there is no need to worry
about cooking! Healthy snacks are served during the morning
and afternoon each day. The camp begins with dinner Friday
night.
The bereaved family camp is for families who have lost a child to cancer. The
programming and discussion groups will be geared specifically
for these families. Bereaved families are not limited
to this camp and are welcome to sign up for whichever
weekend fits their schedule or their comfort level.
Family Camp is limited to the patient and their immediate
family (Mother, Father, Siblings). We are unable to accommodate
grandparents, aunts, uncles or other family members.
