Camp Quality Puppet Program

Fish for a Cure not only brought eager fishermen to Lac Du Bonnet, but also group of volunteers from the Camp Quality Puppeteers. They put on four separate performances of the plays to help educate children about cancer, its effects on children and how even though the physical changes are obvious, the person inside is still the same. All of the children had a great time and learned something about tolerance and friendship.

Four puppets delivered an important message incorporating the virtues of Compassion, Courage, Kindness and Respect. This was done through a 30-45 minute play and question period which discussed the challenges faced by puppets Sophie and Matthew who are both dealing with cancer and the side effects of their treatment. Puppets Jack and Natalie showed how good friends can help by just listening.

Through generous donations, the Never Alone Foundation has been able to provide funds to Camp Quality to bring their puppet program.  To have the puppets visit your school or for more information please email Deb Scott (deb.scott@shaw.ca)
