Leave mum and dad behind!
Guess what? If you are four, five, six or seven years old this
camp is for you!
Do you want to know what camps like?
It is amazing, it is magical, it is great fun. It is a
big adventure. We also have lots of quieter activities for
when you feel a little tired.
You'll have your own adult companion for the whole camp. They
will help you out with everything you need help with. At camp you
get to make lots of the decisions.
Your companion will help you have a go at everything. You will
feel an amazing sense of achievement after you have done lots of
new things you might not have ever thought you could do. If you are
not feeling like the big adventure, our quieter activities are also
great fun. You will have great stories to tell after camp and lots
of awesome photos to show your friends and family.
We always have a medical team at camp. They like to join in the
fun too. They are so happy to see you all out of hospital.
How long does it go for?
Camps are usually for four days. They are not too far away from
home.
Where do you sleep?
In cabins, motels or lodges, depending on the venue. Rooms are
often like a dormitory. You will always have at least another
camper, your companion and their companion too. It's fun sharing a
room.
How much does it cost?
It is free. There is no cost to families. Thanks to our generous
sponsors and loyal donors these camps are fully funded by Camp
Quality.
Who can attend?
The first step is to register to become a Camp Quality family.
Junior camp is for children aged 4-7 years. No parents attend
these camps.
Information for your parents
This is the first CQ camp opportunity for young children living
with cancer to find independence away from the family.
Each child is allocated a trained companion who gets to know the
child and family before camp. This relationship may often continue
after camp. All companions are well trained and police checked.
Companions help the children with new activities that build self
esteem, self confidence and a sense of achievement. We also cater
for those who just need 'time out'.
How do I sign up?
Your child needs to be registered with Camp Quality to attend
camp. If you are a family with a child under 18 years living with
cancer then we would love you to join Camp Quality.
