A message from the
Chair of the Board
The incredible generosity of all supporters of Camp Oochigeas
has made 2007 another amazing and successful year for over
450 children affected by childhood cancer!
It can also be described as one of the most important periods
of the camp’s evolution, as many of the strategic objectives
set by the Board after the purchase of our site have come
to fruition. These objectives included the expansion of our
at-camp infrastructure to support year-round programs, the
development of Ooch’s presence in the city, especially for
children unaccustomed to overnight camp, and the creation
of a national organization, Canadian Association of Paediatric
Oncology Camps (CAPOC), to bring the best oncology
practices to camps across the country.
In 2007, our campsite became more accessible for children
with mobility issues thanks to the extension of the boardwalk
and the addition of a graded area around the campfire pit.
We were also able to provide new challenges to our campers
with the addition of a third level on the high ropes course,
more boats and rods for fishing and the construction of an
archery range.
The launch of the in-city program and expansion of the
in-hospital program has significantly expanded our reach by
providing over 150 days of fun to children who otherwise
may not have experienced camp. The launch of day camp
reached 11 children under the age of seven, nine of whom
had never participated in an Ooch program. There were more
opportunities for children of all ages to interact with friends
and get that positive Ooch energy they need all year-round
through one-day camp-style programs in the city. Finally, the
addition of a full-time In-Hospital Program Coordinator created
an Ooch presence in The Hospital for Sick Children five days
a week to connect with the children and their families.
With the support of over 7,000 donors, 50 summer suppliers
and 60 community events, everyone has rallied together to
create the magic of Ooch. We sincerely appreciate your
ongoing dedication and generosity.
For our program volunteers and medical staff, I’m thrilled
to have the opportunity to say thank you for giving so
generously of yourselves.
Bringing a smile or a word of encouragement to our campers
gives them confidence to push their own limits and achieve
things they never thought possible. As a former counsellor
and regular visitor to camp, I am proud to be part of such a
powerful transformation.
2008 is already setting out to be another exciting year. With
a highly engaged community, the continued expansion of
programs, and the celebration of the 25th summer of Ooch,
the possibilities are enormous. I would invite you to read
about the upcoming plans in the Executive Director’s address.
Thank you again for your support.
Linda Gray
Chair
Kudos to our staff, who with true Ooch energy and
passion, have worked extremely hard to ensure the
successful implementation of all new programming.
Working with Rob Drynan and his team to improve the
quality of experience for all campers, and grow from a
summer camp into a year-round staple in the children’s
oncology community, has been very gratifying for all board
members. It has been a pleasure for me to work with these
dedicated volunteers who make up the Board of Directors
and bring their strategic vision to this organization.
We are fortunate that with program expansion,
our fundraising dollars have continued to keep pace.

Where It All Began:
Summer Camp
Summer residential camp gives children a safe place to step out
of their routine of hospital visits and just be a kid. Located in
Muskoka, Ontario, Ooch gives children the chance to try new
activities and accomplish things they never believed possible.
Whether they’re climbing the rock wall, singing around the
campfire, canoeing across the lake or creating a masterpiece in
arts and crafts, they have support and encouragement from their
peers and counsellors.
“ Camp is more than a place you go to
in the summer. Camp is a place
where you meet people who have
gone through what you’ve gone
through. You’re no longer different
you’re just the same. You can reach
your goals that seem impossible
elsewhere.”

All Season Camping
Fall and Winter Weekends at Camp (WAC)
Since the purchase of our own site in 2004, Ooch has
been able to bring campers up to camp during the fall and
winter. These three days are a great way for new campers
to get to know Ooch and for returning campers to reunite
with old friends.
“ My favourite thing about Ooch is
that it is so important to my son.
He gets treated so well and the
activities make him feel like a
somewhat ‘normal’ child. What I
love and is most important to me
is that it makes him smile and
extremely happy! ”
