2. Who is Camp Trillium? Camp Trillium is an organization that provides recreational programs for children living with cancer and their families in the province of Ontario. We began in 1984 in London, Ontario. We operate 54 programs year round including residential and family camps, day camps, youth groups, trillium in the community matches, in-clinic programs. Our programs run in ten communities and operate out of five pediatric oncology clinics. Every child diagnosed with cancer has the opportunity to participate in our programs at no cost. 3,100 children and family members participate annually making Camp Trillium the largest provider of recreational programs for children with cancer in Canada.
