New Campers and Families

Campfire Circle offers free, camp-inspired programs that help kids with cancer or serious illness build friendships, confidence, and resilience – all while having fun. From hospital visits and community events to overnight camp, our year-round programs are fully accessible and medically supported.

Ways to Fundraise!

Whether you’re running a race, teeing off, saying “I do,” or honouring a loved one, there’s a meaningful way to fundraise your way. Show your camp spirit, get creative, and turn your special moment into support for kids with serious illness.

Get Involved and Make an Impact

Across paediatric hospitals, in local communities, and at two medically supported overnight camps, Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium) brings joy, connection, and more than 2,500 kids affected by childhood cancer and their families each year.

There are over 40,000 kids living with a serious illness in Ontario, and with your support, we have a bold vision to serve 10,000 kids by 2030.

Whether it’s bedside in the hospital, in the heart of the community, online, or under the stars at overnight camp, we create safe, fun spaces where kids can just be kids and families can breathe a little easier. And it’s all at no cost to them.

By donating, you’re giving the gift of fun, friendship, and belonging – helping children thrive and families heal.
