For the 4500 young people in Quebec living with arthritis, pain, physiotherapy, constant medication and isolation caused by their disease represent a major part of their everyday life, including during summer holidays. To help these kids create unforgettable summer memories, Arthritis Society Canada, in collaboration with its invaluable partners and rheumatology clinics, offers them the chance to participate in Kids on the Move Camp, run specifically for children living with rheumatic diseases.
Everything about camp is adapted to these kids’ specific needs including the activities, programming and medical care. Camp is designed to allow our campers to live out summer camp experience at its best – to flourish, to gain self-confidence and, to connect with other children and teens in similar circumstances.
Camp Activities
Each year, about 50 campers ranging in age from 8 to 16 years old have the chance to live out a unique experience in a secure environment. They enjoy a full week of activities adapted to their unique needs.
Campers participate in fun, barrier-free activities at camp, like swimming, canoeing, art & crafts, camp fires, music, sports, and much more. All camp programs follow a philosophy that allows participants to define success individually, giving them the opportunity to choose the level at which they challenge themselves.
