The Orange County Foundation for Oncology Children and Families (OCF-OCF) invites your family to attend our weekend Family Camp. It is located near Big Bear in the San Bernardino Mountains. The World’s Greatest Camp is open to all pediatric oncology patients and immediate family only (siblings, parents and/or guardians). Only two adults per family may attend!
Because of generous funding from public and private donations as well as our own fundraising efforts, The World’s Greatest Camp is FREE OF CHARGE! The World’s Greatest Camp offers a wide variety of activities including swimming, archery, adventure courses, crafts, hiking, nature studies, sports, and much, much more! The World’s Greatest Camp is a process, not an event. It begins Friday morning and ends Sunday afternoon, and it is important that campers attend the entire weekend.
Each year in Orange County, over 100 children are newly diagnosed with some form of cancer. Combined with children already undergoing treatment, hundreds of families share a common challenge as they are all dealing with stresses that are unimaginable to people who have never been touched by childhood cancer. Medical, financial, emotional, and social hardships can be overwhelming for patients, parents, and siblings during treatment. With this in mind, the Orange County Foundation for Oncology Children and Families (OCF-OCF) provides support activities, free of charge, to pediatric cancer patients and their families who live or receive treatment in Orange County.
Our Mission
The Orange County Foundation for Oncology Children and Families (OCF-OCF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-run organization providing year-round recreational and social activities designed to foster supportive relationships for pediatric cancer patients and their families.
Our Values
As the leading organization in Orange County for pediatric cancer patients and their families, OCF-OCF turns fear and isolation into support, friendship, and hope. We fortify the family through year-round free activities.
The weekend camp is open to patients and their families. The “World’s Greatest Camp” provides an opportunity for children and families facing the stress of cancer to unwind. Fun-filled activities such as horseback riding, archery, crafts, swimming, lake activities, a campfire, and a ropes challenge course are available for children and parents alike.
Teen Camp (World’s Coolest Teen Camp) is a fun-filled weekend for campers that are in the 6th-12th grades.
