"We are humbled and honoured to belong to this wonderful organisation which enables children who live with cancer to have fun in a positive stress free environment. We were both introduced to Camp Quality 8 years ago through our involvement in the Lions Organisation, and we were impressed by the calibre of the well trained companions and staff who, as volunteers, give up a week of their lives so happily to help children and families who have been through a tough time.
Having brought up a healthy family of or own, we saw this as an awesome way to give something back to those less fortunate than ourselves.
From our home town, Levin, we coordinate a dedicated & highly organised team from throughout the lower North Island to provide a fun filled camp. Though the planning is long and entailed, when we see the children arrive on the bus, and have an absolutely fantastic time, it is worth every bit of the effort."
Camp Quality Wellington/Central Districts Regional Managers
Our three awesome drivers from Uzabus decided to go the extra mile, hoping to raise funds for three more children to attend Camp.
John, Russell & Kerry grew all their fuzzies ready for a "Clean Shave" at the end of June. Click below to visit their Fundraise Online webpage to see how they did.

Camp Quality New Zealand celebrates 25 wonderful years!
2010 is a very special year, as Camp Quality New Zealand celebrates their 25th Birthday. Camp Quality Wellington/Central Districts joined the celebrations with their own very special "mini camp" day recently. It was a chance for campers, companions and staff, past and present, to get together again, catching up on some old friends and making some new ones too.
There was lots of awesome activities, including bouncy castles, a birthday cake, live band, vintage and classic car rides, motorbike rides (thanks Central Districts Hogs) , painting and plaster craft, kite making, a yummy lunch, and a special helicoptor visit from Tararua Heliwork Ltd all squeezed into an action-packed day. The fun didn't stop there, as after a great day, it was topped off with a fabulous dinner, along with some special thankyous and time to reminisce, entertainment courtesy of The Improvisors, and music from The Missing Link.
A special thanks to Toyota New Zealand for their generosity towards our event, and to Lewis and the friendly team from Awapuni Racecourse & Creative Catering for providing such a fantastic venue.

K.I.C. - Kids In Cars are helping out too!
Kids in Cars, a well oiled engine, is a fun family day out. Held at Pukekohe Park Raceway for the past four years it has grown in leaps and bounds. The annual event is always held in conjunction with Camp Quality Auckland's first day of camp, and the campers spend the day at the Park busying themselves with riding around the track in cars and trucks, eating yummy food and playing on many of the entertainment rides. What a great way to start camp! | To visit their website, and find out more about the fabulous efforts of Kids In Cars click here. |
