Camp Ooch Trip

Camp Ooch is a privately funded, volunteer-based organization that provides children affected by childhood cancer with unique opportunities for growth through challenging, fun, enriching and magical experiences.  The purpose of the trip was to learn about the organization and how these volunteers work along-side doctors, nurses and technicians who work on the oncology floor at Sick Kids Hospital. Students assisted in organizing activities for their March Break Day Camp, as well as spoke to a nurse from 8A, and learned about the various support camp ooch provides for children who are separated from normal life activities (attending school) due to treatment and side effects from the treatment.
