"Camp is a space where I felt seen, heard, and understood. I connected with other girls who truly “got it,” the fear, the confusion, the grief, and the strength it takes to live in the shadow of a sibling’s cancer diagnosis. For the first time, I didn’t feel alone in that experience."

Camping Changes Lives.

The impact of camping goes far beyond a weekend getaway.

Camping helps families reconnect, builds confidence in young people, creates lifelong memories, strengthens communities, and fosters a deeper appreciation for the outdoors. For many Canadians, some of life's most meaningful experiences happen around a campfire, on a hiking trail, or at a campground shared with family and friends.

That's why we're proud that Canadian RV & Camping Month also supports Care Camps.

Care Camps helps children affected by cancer experience the joy, adventure, friendship, and healing power of camp. Through the support of campground owners, campers, industry partners, and organizations across Canada, more children can access life-changing camp experiences when they need them most.

As you celebrate Canadian RV & Camping Month this June, you're also helping shine a light on an incredible cause that demonstrates the positive impact camping can have on people's lives.

Because camping doesn't just create vacations.

It creates connections. It creates confidence. It creates memories.

And sometimes, it changes lives.

💛 The Joy of Camp 💛

We believe in the healing power of joy, connection, and community. Thanks to the generosity of supporters, children affected by cancer can experience the magic of camp in a safe and supportive environment.

Together, we're helping create smiles!😁

June is Great Outdoors Month AND Camping Month — a perfect reminder that healing can happen around a campfire, under the stars, and in the quiet moments nature provides. 🌲🏕️

For children with cancer and their families, the outdoors offers space for joy, confidence, connection, and simply being a kid again.

Care Camps Foundation believes in the healing power of the outdoors and the life-changing experiences that medically supervised pediatric oncology camps provide. From hiking trails to canoe rides to camp songs shared with new friends, these moments help children create memories and let hope take root.

This month, we celebrate every sunset, every campfire story, and every smile made possible through camp.

Because every child deserves the chance to experience the magic of the outdoors. 💛🌲
