Guests are invited to complete the activities page on the back of Pickle Barrel’s children’s menu and then snap a photo holding the menu and post it online with the hashtag, #CampNotCancer, which will enter them in a contest to win one of three Great Blue Resorts (GBR) three-night getaways.

About Camp OOCH

Founded in 1983, Camp Oochigeas (Ooch) has been providing magical camp experiences for children with and affected by childhood cancer. Camp Ooch is much more than a summer camp.

Through these programs, Camp Oochigeas provides fun and meaningful experiences to approximately 1,200 children with and affected by childhood cancer each year, at no cost to their families. Free to families, Camp Ooch is made possible by the generous support of donors and volunteers.
