5. Enhancing Optimism & Resilience

  Research results suggest that we are enhancing optimism by:
  • Living our motto - 'Laughter is the best medicine'.  Many believed the slogan was compatible with the benefits Camp Quality provided.
  • The positive spirit and energy of leaders and volunteers helps everyone stay positive.
  • The fun and laughter provided by the Camp Quality teams helped families get away from the negative aspects of cancer.
  • Providing the anticipation of fun … the best part of the process.

 

Suggested improvement:
  • Some families believed that the Camp Quality philosophy stood in the way of talking about cancer.
