In Tasmania, 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 Tackers & Teens main residential
camps, Junior & Senior Camps 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.
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.
In Tasmania our Family Camps are extremely successful, we
are currently running four Family Camps per year and, due to
increased demand, hope to extend this to six camps for 2009.
Family Camps offer an opportunity to bring both current and new
families together at locations around Tasmania. Family Camps enable
families to relax and join in the fun and relaxing activities
whilst sharing the company of other families who are going through
or been through similar experiences.
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 contribute to building specialised treatment and
waiting rooms in the Royal Hobart Hospital for kids living with
cancer. These rooms will be bright, colourful, uplifting and
optimistic.

Family support
|
Family support is a big part of
our commitment to our CQ families in Tasmania. 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 much anticipated McDonald's Camp Quality Puppets
tour local primary schools twice a year.Schools are
selected based on the local community need to educate children in
schools where a child is living with cancer. The puppet show is
fun, interactive and breaks down barriers and fears around
cancer.
When our puppets next come to town you will see it featured in
the what's on section.
