Further Information:
Camp Quality (New Zealand) Incorporated is a Charitable Trust established in 1985. The first camp in West Auckland in January 1985 was attended by 22 children from throughout New Zealand. Since then it has grown to include regular camp locations situated in:
• Auckland/Northland
• Waikato/Bay of Plenty
• Wellington/Central Districts
• Christchurch
• Southland
Each year more that 300 children aged from 5 to 16 years attend one of the camps.
Camp Quality is a totally voluntary organisation with no individual receiving remuneration. Thousands of hours each year go into raising funds and organising the programmes. Any child may attend a camp if they have been afflicted with cancer. Campers are in all stages of their illness. Each camp has a minimum of two paediatric oncology trained staff in attendance. In some circumstances siblings are also able to attend. Other support activities are run during the course of the year. These include, family days, reunion days, mini-camps and social outings.
