Roger Neilson Children's Hospice

Summer fun is in full swing at RNCH! ☀️ Last week marked the start of our annual Summer Day Camp where campers engaged in all sorts of activities, including tie-dyeing shirts, martial arts, dress-up and so much more. 💛

At Roger Neilson Children’s Hospice, our team finds ways to ensure every child’s individuality shines bright by creating unique and fun opportunities. Here are a few of our favourite moments! 🫶
