Registration Update: We look forward to welcoming our campers back to camp this summer! Camp BC will be hosted at a new Host Camp this summer called Zajac Ranch, which is a fully accessible facility and will run from July 10-14, 2023. We continue to closely monitor provincial health guidelines for summer camps and will make adjustments to our plans based on government recommendations, always keeping the safety of our camps as our top priority. Registration for our British Columbia camp will open February 1, 2023. UPDATE: Camp BC is at capacity. If you would like to register for the waitlist please contact camp@arthritis.ca.
Please note:
- This year, we will be prioritizing campers who have never had the opportunity to attend camp
- Everyone onsite, including our campers, will be required to be fully vaccinated (two doses) against COVID-19
Important dates:
Every summer, kids from across BC come together to attend the Arthritis Society Canada’s unique summer camp and educational retreat for children living with arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. Although we fund Camp, it's a collaborative effort with the outstanding team from BC Children’s Hospital who create, develop and lead the activities and facilitate the fun adventures.
During their time at Camp, the kids meet others who are going through similar journeys, are matched with counsellors who also live with arthritis, and have the chance to try new things in a welcoming and safe environment, free from judgement.
Depending on where they live in the province, children in BC may choose to attend camp that we host in Alberta.
