Noogieland (4-12 Yrs)

When cancer happens, it happens to the entire family and deeply affects children.  Noogieland is for young children impacted by cancer – whether a child has a family member or friend with cancer, is a survivor of someone with cancer or should they themselves have been diagnosed with cancer.  Families can come to Gilda´s Club to receive support both individually as well as a family unit.

Children affected by cancer deserve a Program that addresses their specific needs. At Gilda´s Club, Noogieland both as a physical space and as Program philosophy addresses the unique social and emotional needs of children and families living with cancer in their lives

Named after the famous "noogies" given to Gilda Radner when she performed on Saturday Night Live, Noogieland holds a unique place at Gilda´s Club Simcoe Muskoka.  Noogieland provides an opportunity for children to discuss the impact of cancer on their lives, and socialize.  Noogieland is a place to have fun, play games, join in arts and crafts, play-act, and to participate in other entertaining activities. Special events like NoogieFest, an annual Halloween party for children, families and friends, plus a host of other fun activities ensure a great time for the entire family.
