This National Nursing Week, we’re celebrating the incredible nurses who make Campfire Circle's medically supported programs possible. ❤️
Nurses like Armita.
From early morning meds to late night check-ins, and from blood transfusions to UNO tournaments, our nurses bring compassion, comfort, laughter, and care to every corner of camp.
Thank you for creating safe spaces and helping kids with serious illness just be kids.

Creating this piece for @campfirecircleorg has been so special to me đź’›
This Sunday, I’ll be running the @sportinglifeca 10K again alongside my friends and family to support an incredible cause that truly hit home for me last year.
So I wanted to give back in the only way I truly know how… through art 🎨
This one-of-one artwork was uniquely created for Campfire Circle, designed together through brainstorming, emotion, and intention✍🏽
Every detail in this piece was created for something bigger than myself, for Campfire Circle ♥️
This #MentalHealthWeek, we’re turning to our community. 💛
Camp is more than just fun and friendship – it’s a place where kids and families can feel seen, supported, confident, and connected. Whether it’s laughing around a campfire, trying something new, or meeting someone who truly understands, camp has a lasting impact on mental health and well-being.
We want to hear from you! How does camp make you feel?

This past weekend, we hosted our annual Career Day at our Toronto office, helping teen and young adult campers build confidence and skills for the future.
We were proud to welcome professionals from a range of industries who shared their experiences and advice to inspire the next generation.
A huge thank you to @shakeshackca for a delicious lunch, and to our incredible mentors and facilitators, which included representatives from @lithiamotors , @mckessoncanada , @rbc , @cibc , Spencer & Jordon Newlands, and @coryvitiello , for sharing their time, skills, and perspectives.
Special thanks to Shelby Austin, our former board member and CEO of Arteria AI, for delivering an inspiring keynote that encouraged campers to dream big and keep reaching higher.

CAMPFIRE RELAY. 263 KMS.
As the days turned to nights, we continued running through the darkness with only minutes of sleep. In the very early hours of the next day, the rain started pouring, hours on end, into the late morning.
This run was for dad. I miss you.
Today we look back and remember that the things we endured during our relay was only a tiny fraction of the pain these children deal with in their battle to beat cancer.
Yes, cancer research is critical... however I strongly believe that, there is of equal importance in providing joy and play throughout a child’s journey to healing.
This weekend, as we head into the Sporting Life 10K celebration lap, I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their support and donations. This is our final stretch of fundraising for this amazing cause and organization @campfirecircleorg
If you’d like to donate, the link is in my bio. EVERY DOLLAR MATTERS.
Also, come find me this Sunday... I’ll be running down Yonge Street proudly carrying that Campfire Circle flag.
