OUR HISTORY
Kids ‘N’ Cancer: Camp Agape began in 1989 as an outreach program of the Metropolis of San Francisco Philoptochos. Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Portland’s Philoptochos Society was looking to expand their outreach program in 1994. In 1995 Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral Philoptochos started working closely with the Oregon Candlelighters (the parent support group for children with cancer), the Oregon Health Science University, Legacy/Emanuel Hospital and local pediatrics-oncology departments. Having the support of these community stakeholders and the Metropolis of San Francisco Philoptochos Kids ‘N’ Cancer: Camp Agape could begin to recruit families.
