Registration Update: We look forward to welcoming our campers back to camp this summer! 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 Manitoba camp will open February 15, 2023.

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:


Camp Limitless is Manitoba’s only summer camp for kids ages 8-17 with a confirmed diagnosis of arthritis. Camp Limitless gives kids a memorable summer camping experience despite medical problems or physical limitations.

Along with the many fun activities campers enjoy, they will meet and share the experience with other children with childhood arthritis. The medical and trained camp staff are sensitive to the children’s special needs, and young adults with arthritis serve as mentor group leaders.

Please note: Your child must have medical clearance from their primary healthcare practitioner to attend camp (i.e. – Pediatric Rheumatologist, Pediatrician, or Family Doctor) to attend.

Costs

Living with childhood arthritis can put enough of a strain on a family’s time, energy and financial resources. Our intention is for camp to be free for all campers across the country and our fundraising team is working tirelessly to achieve this goal. At this point, we are very hopeful that we will achieve our goal, with nothing to indicate otherwise. In the event that we are unable to raise the required funds to cover the cost of our camps, there may be no other option except to implement a registration fee. We will make every effort to notify families as soon as possible in the event a registration fee will need to be implemented.

Volunteers

Volunteers are a huge reason why so many children and families get to enjoy camp each summer.

The Arthritis Society Canada is recruiting for dedicated, caring, and enthusiastic volunteers to ensure that all campers have the best experience at Camp Limitless. Volunteers will assist with the development and execution of camp activities; engage with children, helping integrate them into camp life; monitor camper safety; and assist with the development of promotional photo and video materials.

If you are interested in volunteering for one of our camp positions, please submit a volunteer application form between February 15 to March 24, 2023! Upon application submission, we will reach out to you with regards to next steps (e.g., Zoom interview, etc.). Please direct any questions to camp@arthritis.ca.
