Hospital Puppet Playdates
Camp Quality's Hospital Puppet Playdates are visits from our puppets to kids on cancer wards, providing therapeutic laughter and fun. Learn how they boost the wellbeing of kids facing cancer.
The Camp Quality Puppets have been bringing laughter and distraction to kids on cancer wards for decades.
Now they also bring fun and jokes to kids isolated by cancer, and their siblings, via a 10-minute online playdate – straight to their electronic device.
Our much-loved puppets get around! They also travel to primary schools and preschools across Australia, performing a fun, interactive show that creates a supportive community for kids impacted by cancer. And now there is a live-streamed version of the show, as part of our Cancer Education Digital Program, with digital performances beginning in schools in mid-2021.
