Camp Oochigeas is much more than a summer camp. "Ooch" offers year round programs for children affected by childhood cancer at our site in Muskoka, at the Hospital for Sick Children, and in the community at absolutely no cost to their families. A paediatric oncology team from SickKids Hosptial is on site 24hrs a day to meet all of our campers medical needs. Campers' treatments are managed so they can participate fully in the camp program- because the camp experience is about being a camper first.
