From the great outdoors to hospital floors, Campfire Circle are there for kids & families. Volunteers and staff have assisted thousands of families dealing with childhood cancer since 1983. Camp programs run in paediatric oncology centres and communities all across Ontario. It should be noted that parents are never asked to pay for camp or other programs.
3 Programs are supported:
Overnight Camp Programs - Campfire Circle has two overnight camp sites, including the only site in Canada to provide IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions – and hosts programs for kids, teens, bereaved siblings, and families.
In-Hospital Programs - Campfire Circle staff and volunteers meet kids soon after their diagnosis, bringing moments of fun and laughter to them, their siblings, and parents during time in hospital.
Community Programs - Campfire Circle staff and volunteers bring the magic of camp close to home or online with year-round community programs across Ontario.
Fundraising - The Rotary Club of Markham Sunrise will be hosting our 3rd annual "Yuk Yuks" Comedy night fundraiser on Friday October 17th 2025 with all proceeds going to Campfire Circle - and will be selling tickets nearer the time - but we are raising money now for this phenomenal cause. Tax receipts will be issued. Click Donate to make a difference.
Donation Levels - $500 will fund 4 wilderness kits for Campers, $2,500 will pay for 1 child to attend camp and $5,000 will pay a child and their sibling to attend camp. Our club has already committed $2500 but our overall goal is $20,000 to enable us to send 8 kids to camp. You can also make monthly donations.
