My week at Camp Quality was one of the best weeks of my life. I volunteered as a companian this past summer. We were to "work" one-on-one with a camper. A camper was a 4 to 18 year old child who has, or is, battling cancer. We were trained for a day, but I really did not know what to expect. The entire week was such a warm fuzzy for everyone!!! Camp was so well organized. The word bored was never uttered or thought. There were so many activities, team building skills, and opportunities throughout each day. I truly felt like my own personal family had just grown by 150 people. The children have so much fun, and the memories that are made are extremely valuable. I have shared my experience with so many already, because it meant so much to me. I honestly cannot think of one aspect that I would change or improve upon. This was my first year at Camp Quality, but it will definitely not be my last. Tracey Feil

wonderfully suited to the types of campers each encountered. Michelle Cook did a fantastic job of pairing campers to companians. Everyone always had a smile on their faces and kind words on there lips. It was a great place to be for a week.

I had brought a fan to camp. The first few days were very very hot. I honestly cannot say anything critical of camp.

This was my second year as a companion to a very special little girl named Ragan. We really hit it off last year and I was very excited to spend another week with her this past July. We did a lot of fun activities during the week, but I would dare to say that her favorite might have been making me into a human sundae! We shared a room with Jan and Katie. Early in the week Katie and Ragan made up a password which Jan and I had to remember to re-enter our room. I hope that we will be able to meet again next summer.

I am completely drawing a blank! Maybe if I were just a little younger - but there really isn't anything that I can think of .... it is very well organized and run by people who truly love and believe in the organization.

Camp Quality Michigan stands up to it's motto and truly allows children affected by cancer stand together with their new friends and forget about cancer all together. Over the span of seven fun-packed days in beautiful Petoskey, MI we become a family and are all connected to someone new in a new and exciting way.

I have been a part of Camp Quality for three years and what a wonderful nonprofit program it is. Many people volunteer a lot of their time each year to make a week camp experience for children battling cancer an amazing & fun week. It is a great program with many great volunteers running it.

My name is Aaron Milenbaugh and I'm not joking about my rateing. Camp Quality Michigan is like my home away from home. At Camp I did things that I couldn't even think about at my home. At Camp we do alot of fun activites and make friends, we are in the water alot which I like and we dance and everything. I love it there. I hope someone reads this so they can recommend Camp Quality to any kid that has or had cancer so they can come here and find out for themselves. Thank you for reading.

My daughter has gone to Camp for the last 3 yrs. She looks forward to it every yr. They make her feel special. Every time she goes she meets new kids just like her. It's her chance to be free of all her medical problems if only for a little while. She even wants to volunteer when she gets older.

Camp Quality Michigan is a TERRIFIC organization! Each year we have wonderful volunteers (companions and staff members) that come together to deliver a wonderful program to our campers--each of which has, or has had, cancer. What makes CQ unique is the bond that is formed between camper and companion. Each camper is paired on-to-one with a companion that spends the entire week with them. Add in the spectacular programming that is provided and it all adds up to FUN!!!!! I HIGHLY recommend this organization..not only in Michigan but across the US!

My daughter! Being a cancer survivor, she has enjoyed the benefits of Camp Quality since her diagnosis. Seeing the positive impact Camp Quality makes in a child is rewarding.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Interaction with all the campers, families and volunteers that are brought together by this organization. They truly are one of a kind. They enrich each experience.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Offer additional weeks of camp and provide additional support services to the families of children affected by cancer.
