ABOUT US

Campfire Circle has offered healing through happiness for thousands of kids and families affected by childhood cancer since 1983. It’s where kids can be kids, and families can be families—engaging in camp-inspired community, in-hospital, and overnight camp programs, at no cost to them. As a privately funded organization, Campfire Circle donors make thousands of life-changing experiences possible for Campers throughout the year, all across Ontario.

At Campfire Circle we are committed to ensuring employment is accessible within our organization by reducing financial barriers for summer staff members. Based on identified need, we may be able to assist with costs related to the job such as: camping equipment/gear, outdoor clothing, training/certifications, and transportation. If you require financial assistance related to the program, you are invited to make this known during the recruitment process.
