CAMPFIRE CIRCLE

Inspire your employees, help our Campers

Our corporate partnership programs are designed to build team spirit, morale, and camaraderie among coworkers. Your generous donations will help kids and families affected by childhood cancer.

Reasons to be a partner

We work with you to create life-changing employee engagement programs that are tailored to meet your organization’s philanthropic goals and responsibilities. In return, you’ll help bring more camp to more kids, across the province.

Right now, 79% of kids affected by childhood cancer in Ontario still can’t experience the magic of camp. We have an annual fundraising goal of $7 million and big plans to expand our virtual camp programming.

We need your help so that we can bring the social cure for cancer closer to home for more families.

We accomplish so much when we work together! See how partners Volkswagen Canada and Solutions 2 GO help us spread laughter and fun to kids affected by childhood cancer every year.

“I never thought I would find myself on the other side of what Camp Ooch does, but I did. Cancer changes a family forever and Ooch brings light back to the family.”

Volkswagen Canada is a proud supporter of Camp Ooch, a camp for kids affected by childhood cancer.

Our committed employees are volunteering for the fourth consecutive year to help prepare Camp Ooch for the kids.

“Hands down the focus at Ooch is about fun and it’s about giving kids the opportunity to just be a kid. We have this incredible army of volunteers that make camp possible.”

“Something incredible happens when all these like minded people come together to work to give of themselves to make somebody else’s life better.]

I describe Ooch in one word, I think I would choose magic.”

“You have so many people around you to encourage you to try something new, for some kids its jumping off the diving board, for others its sitting on the dock and being present. There’s this calmness, this relief they are there to show families and make them understand that they’re not alone.”

Our incredible team were there to help with everything, from Muskoka chairs…
… to opening a brand new housing unit for the oncologists, doctors, medical team members, and families.
