In 2016, the Gregory family attended a children’s cancer event, unaware they would soon face their own battle when their 5-year-old son Erik was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis.
Erik bravely endured 24 rounds of chemo, but the toll on his young body was immense. Erik, who once ran and played with his brothers, now found himself too weak to keep up. He missed 55 days of school, and sports became something he had to watch from the sidelines.
Initially too sick for Camp Quality, Erik eagerly anticipated attending the following summer. Camp was everything he had hoped for and more.
Erik discovered that camp was a place where he wasn’t defined by his illness and where every child bore the battle scars of cancer, just like him. Camp became a cherished experience for Erik, filled with activities like fishing and archery, but more importantly, it fostered friendships and a sense of belonging.
For Erik, Camp Quality is more than just a camp; it’s a place of healing, friendship, and joy. For his family, it’s a source of comfort and support, a beacon of hope in their journey.
MISSION
Camp Quality serves children with cancer and their families by providing year-round programs, experiences, and companionship, at no cost. Camp Quality promotes hope and inspiration while helping children foster life skills and develop their full potential.
