COVID-19 UPDATE: We miss our campers! The Arthritis Society continues to closely monitor provincial health recommendations and guidelines for summer camps and we look forward to offering our in-person camps again when it is safe to do so. In the meantime, please visit our Club Sunrise page to learn more about our virtual offerings for youth living with arthritis and other rheumatic diseases.
Every summer, kids from across BC come together to attend the Arthritis Society’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.
Located at Camp Capilano in North Vancouver, its beautiful setting allows every child to explore new experiences. 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.
