Abstract BACKGROUND Medical specialty camps have provided children with unique psychosocial experiences; however, dedicated pediatric brain tumor camps are rare in the United States, except in limited locations. This study aimed to glean caregiver perceptions from a dedicated family brain tumor camp, and to learn about the family experience with navigating a neuro-oncology diagnosis. DESIGN: Flying Horse Farms is a non-profit organization located in Mt. Gilead, Ohio and a member of the SeriousFun Children’s Network, a global community of camps and programs serving children with serious illnesses and their families, at no cost. The institutional review board at Ohio University approved this project at Flying Horse Farms in September 2017. Consent from caregivers was obtained prior to participation in the study, which provided the opportunity to complete three separate phases: a pre-camp survey, attend a semi-structured interview during the weekend, and complete a post-camp survey. RESULTS 11 families were present for the weekend, and 10 families consented to participate in all three phases. For 6 families, this was their first experience at Flying Horse Farms. For 9 of the 10 families, the camp met their expectations. Additionally, 9 out of 10 families reported they would be interested in attending a diagnosis specific camp again in the future. CONCLUSIONS This work demonstrates the feasibility of conducting research at a medical specialty camp without restricting the camp experience. Better understanding of the attendee’s attitudes toward camp may enhance the experience and the neuro-oncology journey in the future.

As the new millennium begins, we find intercollegiate sport in Canadian universities at a crossroads. Although the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CIAU), the governing body for university sport in Canada, has a history of recurring issues and challenges, further change is imminent. This paper provides the perspective of two Canadian intercollegiate athletic administrators and sport management academicians on the future of intercollegiate sport in Canada by focusing on five major areas of concern: (a) diversity, (b) governance, (c) funding of athletics, (d) the role and value of athletics, and (e) the changing environmental context of the university. The authors conclude that university sport in Canada will remain embedded within the non-profit, amateur fabric of the Canadian sporting milieu characterized by a participant rather than spectator focus, men's sport domination, decreased funding sources, and pressures to justify its role and value within a rapidly changing environment. The diversity evident throughout the CIAU will continue to have a compelling impact on the organization.
