Camp Oki

For Kids with Extra Special Hearts

Camp Oki is Canada's first and only Summer Camp for children with congenital heart disease, including those with pacemakers, internal defibrillators and transplants. Created by SickKids cardiologist Dr Joel Kirsh, the free camp launched in 2004 with 30 kids over a long weekend and now hosts 60 campers over one week. Camp Oki’s volunteer counselors are SickKids staff and former campers and they are able to provide a fun, safe and enjoyable recreational opportunity for children who are often excluded from mainstream summer camping programs.
