The Kidney Foundation of Canada hasn't added a story.
Join us on a mission to bring the magic of camp to every kidney and transplant kid! Let's secure matching funds that will make a world of difference for Kidney Kids Camps this Summer in Alberta!
Every child deserves to experience the wonder of camp. After all, enjoying the outdoors and having fun is what being a kid is all about. Sadly, kids with kidney disease rarely get to go to camp due to significant medical and financial barriers.
Kidney Kids Camp by The Kidney Foundation of Canada is a unique, medically supervised camping experience provided at no cost to families living with kidney disease. Everything is covered: nurses, camp accommodations, transportation, food, snacks, and more as kids aged 8 to 18, spend one special week in the summer, building confidence and making life-long friendships.
At camp, these kidney kids not only conquer the physical and emotional challenges of their condition but also find a support network that lasts a lifetime. They learn they are not alone. Just ask Justine, who says, “It changed my life. Before that first day at camp, I had never met another kid with kidney disease … I thought I was the only one… and I said to my parents, ‘This is better than Christmas.’ The friends I made there and the confidence it gave me – had a huge impact on my life.”
Your support matters more than you know. Every dollar spent at Kidney Kids Camp is an investment in the well-being of these children. Your generous donation directly contributes to covering camp logistics, medical staffing, and creating unforgettable activities.
The campers can truly just be kids and their parents also get the rare opportunity for a much-needed rest knowing their precious child will be safe and cared for.
Nurses administer all the children’s medications and care, and careful oversight is provided by a Pediatric Nephrology Team. Children who are dependent on hemodialysis are shuttled from camp for treatments and returned to continue enjoying their camp experience.
