Camp Quality support and services

Camp Quality gives kids facing cancer the chance to be kids again. Camp Quality’s services and programs are created specifically to support children aged up to 15 years, who are dealing with their own cancer diagnosis, or the diagnosis of someone they love, like a brother, sister, mum, dad or carer.

Camp Quality’s Services and Programs

Camp Quality helps kids and families at every stage of the cancer experience in the following ways: 

In hospital: 

• The Camp Quality Puppets provide fun and distraction for kids at their hospital bedsides, which boosts their mental wellbeing. Camp Quality sponsored Child Life Therapists support children undergoing cancer treatment to reduce anxiety and the need for sedation. The Beads of Courage program uses colourful beads to track each procedure of a child’s cancer experience. They become a token of pride for children who sometimes miss out on the everyday milestones of other kids.

Online: 

• Live streamed Puppet Digital Playdates bring the Camp Quality Puppets to children isolated by cancer, on their personal electronic device. The Happiness Hub website is home to our kids’ activities and wellbeing content; the Kids’ Guide to Cancer and New Normal Navigator apps provide cancer education and trusted resources. Interactive Virtual Camps allow children to enjoy the camp experience online. 

At school: 

• The Camp Quality Puppets present the Primary School Cancer Education Program. 

Away from it all: 

• Our much-loved Kids’ Camps and Family Camps give children and their families a break from cancer. As do our memorable one-day events, Family Fun Days and Family Experiences. We also provide respite in the most difficult stages of cancer at our Retreats.
