About the Book

Everything associated with Camp Quality is such a positive experience. For six days, campers, companions, and staff members look cancer in the eye and tell the dreaded disease that it can be beaten. They know it may affect a person physically, but not spiritually and emotionally. And because of the week’s association with other kids and the support of people who care, each camp participant returns home with a renewed love of the life he or she has been blessed with and a determination to fight the disease.
