The Magic of Christmas

Camp Quality held it’s annual Children’s Christmas Party, which saw over 300 members come together for a day of fun, excitement and celebration at The Repulse Bay on Friday 22nd December.

The event now in its 5th year is the only activity on the Camp Quality calendar that unites campers, companions, volunteers, sponsors and donors.

Our Christmas Carnival is not only for the children which we support, but also a chance for our friends, sponsors and donors to view first hand the important work we do, allowing them to see how we are helping to improve the quality of lives of so many children suffering from cancer and their families through the support of Camp Quality.

The Children's Christmas party is like a big carnival with plenty of fun and amusing games stalls, this year it was organized by the rotary interactors from the Ma Ko Pan Memorial College, Tuen Mun and the Maryknoll Convent School. We also had a wonderful stage performance of a comedy musical by patients from the Prince of Wales hospital as well as some festive songs to get everyone in the holiday spirits. There were also plenty of exciting arts and crafts stalls as well as bouncy castles and plenty of food and drink.

This year, we had not just one but two very special guests come and visit the children. Local TVB celebrity Mr. Kenneth Ma (who himself is very familiar with our charity since a few years back, he was actually a Camp Quality companion!) came to surprise the children and gave words of encouragement.

“To see the children forget they have cancer, even if its just for a little while is a wonderful feeling and its wonderful to see them again having the time of their lives” Kenneth said.

Special arrangements were also made for EEG’s Sun’Boyz to come and entertain our kids by performing some of their current hits and they also gave away a copy of their latest CD to delight of each camper.

Our annual party for the Camp Quality children has been sponsored by The Repulse Bay for the last five years and it keeps on getting bigger and bigger each year! Without the support of Mr. Martyn Sawyer and his wonderful team of staff at the Repulse Bay and many other companies and private individuals who help out at this annual event, we would struggle to cater and find an alternative venue for our annual Children’s Christmas party.

On behalf of Camp Quality, our sincere appreciation goes out to them - Thank you!!
