Summer Camps

Camps

For thousands of Canadian children, summer camp is a time for adventure, friendship, and unforgettable memories. But for kids living with arthritis, attending a traditional camp isn’t always possible. That’s why Arthritis Society Canada camps provide a safe, inclusive, and fully accessible camp experience—so every child can focus on just being a kid.

Why Our Camps Are Special

Unlike traditional camps, our programs are designed specifically for children with arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. Campers benefit from:

  • Barrier-free, traditional camp activities tailored to their needs.

  • On-site medical support ensure that campers’ health needs are met.

  • A welcoming community where kids feel understood, supported and accepted.

  • Confidence-building programs to help manage their condition and boost self-esteem.

At our camps, children aren’t defined by their disease—they’re simply campers, ready to explore, play, and grow.

Help Keep Camp Free for Every Child

Living with childhood arthritis can be challenging—not just physically but also financially. We believe that no child should miss out on camp due to cost. Our goal is to keep our camps completely free, but we need your help!
