Variety, fun and personalised support is the key to providing activities to our Camp Quality Families. We ensure that our programs are responsive to our Camp Quality families needs.

Recreational program

Our camping program consists of our junior, senior, adventure, teens, siblings and family camps. These camps provide a wonderfully unique opportunity for a child with cancer to put their illness behind them for a few days and concentrate on being a child again.

One of the great camps we have in South Australia is our Teen Camp, this is just for 13-15 year olds and includes going rockclimbing, ten pin bowling or even a good old Luna Park visit. We've also got lots of surprise activities for this group - stay tuned!

We also run a wide variety of Family Fun Days / Activities, Mothers Luncheons, Dad's Days, Parent Dinners and Kids Christmas Parties. Family fun days are sponsored by various community groups / organisations and businesses that generously organise and donate their services.   

Be sure to visit our What's on section regularly. It's where you will find out all about our camps and our fun days.

Hospital program

As part of our local hospital program, we regularly visit the oncology wards and clinic of the Women's and Children's hospital. Luckily for us it's only a 2 minute walk up the street. When we do visit, the puppets normally come along too, spreading a bit of cheer and sharing jokes with the kids while Tegan, Program Coordinator, talks to the parent/caregiver. We also have Ronald McDonald House on the same street so we're regular visitors there too!

Family support

Family support is a big part of our commitment to our CQ families The hospital notifies us as soon as a child begins treatment and we liaise with the families to make sure they are covered for practical things like a car parking pass, phone cards etc. We offer unwavering support to our families, visiting them in hospital, staying with the children while the parents meet with doctors and helping out whenever we can.

Educational program

The McDonalds Camp Quality Puppets tour metropolitan and regional primary schools with their mischievous puppets to educate children about being compassionate and empathetic to children who are living with cancer. The program is an effective, fun and interactive way to communicate our anti-bully and anti-teasing message, "It's uncool to be cruel".
