“Camp Quality Michigan is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to establish and sustain community-based camping and ongoing support programs for children with cancer (ages 4-18) and their families. There is never a cost to our campers or their families. We depend totally on the generosity of individuals, businesses, organizations and foundations acting out of concern for these children.
The goals and aims of Camp Quality are:
· To allow children with cancer to be children again.
· To create stress-free environments that offer exciting activities, foster new friendships, and help give children courage, motivation and emotional strength.
· To give families of children with cancer a much needed rest, knowing that the highest quality program has been selected to keep their child happy. Camp Quality pairs up campers one-to-one with a companion, and most importantly, the finest medical supervision will be provided at every camp.
· To give the child hope for the future in that the camping experience will be such fun, they will look forward to and anticipate their next camp, and that the memories from their special week will sustain them in the weeks and months ahead as they continue their medical treatment.
Camp Quality is a unique international camping program that was founded and established in 1983 in Sydney, Australia by Vera Entwistle. Entwistle came up with the name Camp Quality after a doctor told her “No one can do anything about the quantity of one’s life, but all of us can do something about the quality.” There are now over 55 locations worldwide in 19 countries. The United States currently has fifteen (15) camps for children with cancer located in eleven (11) states.”
