Resources for supporters

Thank you for being a proud supporter of CAMPFIRE CIRCLE! We’ve prepared some useful resources for you.

Here is approved language to describe CAMPFIRE CIRCLE:

CAMPFIRE CIRCLE (formerly Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium) has offered healing through happiness for thousands of kids and families affected by childhood cancer since 1983. It’s where kids can be kids, and families can be families—engaging in camp-inspired community, in-hospital, and overnight camp programs, at no cost to them. As a privately funded organization, CAMPFIRE CIRCLE donors and volunteers make thousands of life-changing experiences possible for Campers throughout the year, all across Ontario. Visit www.campfirecircle.org for more information or join the online community on Facebook , Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn. 

Here is more descriptive language:

A diagnosis of childhood cancer changes life in an instant. For kids and families, it can suddenly feel like everything is about cancer. Simple childhood joys like friendships, birthday parties, or sports teams are left behind in the need for medical appointments, hospital stays, and long absences from school. Whether it’s in a hospital setting, in the community, online or at overnight camp, CAMPFIRE CIRCLE has created safe spaces since 1983 for kids to be kids, so families can be families, at no cost to them. 

It’s where curiosity and confidence, bravery and acceptance come to play, and healing through happiness is on the agenda, every day, and in so many ways! Our support ensures that CAMPFIRE CIRCLE’S programs continue to reach 1,500+ kids and their families every year. 

If your community supported Camp Ooch or Camp Trillium before our name changed, you can add this sentence to your communications: 

Did you know that Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium merged in 2020, and that they announced a new name in January 2022? Announcing … CAMPFIRE CIRCLE! They aren’t changing what we do—they’re just changing our name.
