Camp Quality offers fun camp programs for children affected by cancer and rare blood diseases and their families. Our programs are designed to meet the unique physical, social and psychological needs of our campers.

At camp, we provide a safe environment where kids are free to define themselves without the stigma of illness.

Camp Quality Manitoba is a one-week overnight camp, located in the Whiteshell at Variety's Camp Brereton.

As a program volunteer, you could be assigned to a number of roles at camp; which you can indicate your preference on your application form. Companions are the 1:1 match volunteers, who have the opportunity to participate alongside their camper, playing games, singing songs, encouraging and cheering them on as they engage in the program and make new friends.

At camp, we also have Super Companions. They support in giving Companions breaks during the week, help lead activities and more! In this role, you'll show up ready for fun and be flexible! This role is really cool, because you get to engage with lots of campers during the week!

Volunteers have the opportunity to lead a pre-planned activity at camp if they like; we encourage you to indicate this on your volunteer application.
