A veteran of the United States Army, Col (R) Reese Turner helps clients reach their fitness goals as a coach and trainer with ProFormance Results in Louisville, Kentucky. One of the ways Col (R) Reese Turner and his fellow Proformance coaches and trainers give back to their community, is by running a mini-boot camp for children at Camp Quality, an overnight camp for children who have or have had cancer.
From 18 locations in 13 states, Camp Quality offers week-long overnight summer camps for children aged 4 to 17 who have experienced cancer. In addition to participating in traditional summer camp activities that cultivate friendship and creativity, campers can attend a reunion in the fall and year-round activities including family weekends and day trips.
The camp raises funds all year to be able to provide camp at no cost; families are only responsible for their transportation costs to and from camp. All camps offer 24-hour medical care for campers, as well as either an on-call or onsite doctor. In 2019, Camp Quality provided safe summer fun for 713 young people with cancer and 259 of their siblings.
