Overnight Camps

We believe that all children should have the opportunity to go to summer residential camps if they choose. We have listed some of the summer residential camps close to Victoria. These are all generic camps that support the concept of inclusion of a child with a disability. Parents of children with disabilities who are considering sending their child to a residential camp should read about Lifetime Networks’ Summer Residential Camp Assistance Service (previously run by Recreation Integration Victoria) described in the CYSN sponsored program section of this website.

Parents are advised to contact the camp of their choice well in advance to discuss the suitability of the camp for their child and registration.

Please note that there may be other summer camp options not listed in on this website, as this is not inclusive of every summer camp or service on the lower Vancouver Island. We hope that the listings provide you with references to many such camps but we encourage you to explore.
