Welcome to the Camp Quality Website!

We are the children’s family cancer charity that believes in bringing optimism and happiness to the lives of children and families affected by cancer through fun therapy. We believe laughter is the best medicine.

At CQ we are one big happy family. Our kids and their families, our staff and volunteers, and our partners, sponsors and donors are all part of the family. Together we help children and their families face the challenging days and celebrate good ones.

We believe in improving the quality of life through unrelenting optimism.

We'd love you to get involved, so check out join CQ, how you can help, or donate now!

CQ senior camp

Your world away from cancer!

Cancer? Oh yeah, that's right. Everyone on camp is living with it. Would you know it? The answer is in the photos.

What happens at camp?

Get ready for a big adventure. Depending on the camp you go to, you'll be able to choose from activities like wire hang gliding, jet boat rides and snorkelling. There is also some pretty cool quiet stuff for the quiet guys. At night it's party, disco, music. It's much more adult than the other camps.

Where might you go?

Who knows? You could end up travelling to places like the Great Barrier Reef, Sydney, Tasmania, New Zealand or Norfolk Island. Most of the action on camp starts mid-morning; you get to sleep-in because you had so much fun the night before.

How long do senior camps go for?

Usually, five days.

What are the sleeping arrangements?

Motel or cabin style accommodation, usually with one companion and three campers per room.

How much does it cost?

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?

Children over 16 and under 18 years. These camps create great friendships and everyone has lots of fun with plenty of time to party.

The camps are run by volunteer leaders with a ratio of three campers to one adult companion with a nurse attending as well. These camps are run in-line with surveys we've done where kids have told us what they want.

How do we sign up to attend?

You need to be registered as a Camp Quality family. If you are under 18 years and living with cancer and your family is not registered with CQ you can register online now.
