Camp JoinTogether is a 6-day overnight summer camp for Atlantic Canadian children who are living with childhood arthritis.

Camp JoinTogether was established in 2012, and is held annually at Brigadoon Village in Aylesford, Nova Scotia.

Attending Camp JoinTogether is a fun opportunity for campers to meet others, build friendships, and learn they aren’t alone – that other kids are living with arthritis, too.

Check out a video about Camp JoinTogether here:

Living with childhood arthritis can put a strain on a family’s time, energy, and financial resources. Our goal is to keep camp free for all campers across the country, and our fundraising team is working tirelessly to make this possible. However, we can’t do it alone—we rely on generous donations and community fundraising efforts to cover the cost of camp.

You can help ensure every child gets the chance to experience the joy of camp!

Join Us in Making Camp Possible

Make a Gift

Every dollar raised goes directly toward providing an unforgettable camp experience for children living with arthritis. By fundraising or making a donation, you play a direct role in making this possible.

If we are unable to raise the necessary funds, a registration fee may need to be introduced. Should this be required, we will make every effort to notify families as soon as possible.
