Camping Appreciation Weekend

The weekend of September 8 – 10, 2023 is Camping Appreciation Weekend, when many Canadian campgrounds coast-to-coast say thank you to campers for their patronage.

The weekend is organized and sponsored by the Canadian Camping and RV Council and supported by the BC Lodging and Campgrounds Association to:

• Say thanks to those that enjoy the camping and RVing lifestyle.
• And, to raise funds for Care Camps, to send children with cancer to specialized oncology camps.

Fundraising

Each year, the participants support a good cause. The proceeds gathered from 2023’s celebration will benefit Care Camps – a charity that helps children with cancer enjoy camping and while spending time in nature.

Campgrounds: Sign up to Participate Here! 

The Care Camps of Canada, donation amount for 2022 totaled $7,975.00. These funds were raised from our BCLCA Members, Auction 22, (which was held in May) and from other donations received. We could not have done this without your continued support. The funds raised in 2022 helped send another 4 children to a specialized oncology camp – a place where these kids can forget about the chemo, the radiation, and all the hard stuff that comes with cancer…. and just be a child again.  

Let’s go Camping!

Camping is an affordable family activity that promotes a sense of community, creates life-long memories and encourages Canadians and International visitors to discover Canada’s rich landscape and engage with nature.
