Campership Subsidy for Accessible Camps

CPABC helps people experience summer camps and programs with the Campership Program, which financially assists individuals of all ages with cerebral palsy attend an accessible camp or program of their choice in BC.

Up to $500 is available per person and approval is dependent on available funding as well as eligibility of application.

Our camp subsidies can go towards costs such as camp fees, day programs, transportation, and attendant care fees.

Without the help of an attendant, many individuals could not attend camp. Although the camp session itself may be free to the participant, the expensive attendant care fee can be a barrier for people wishing to attend camps.

Summer is a time for having fun and feeling free. If you would like to contribute towards next year’s Campership program, you can make a donation on our website (click here) or call us at 604-408-9484
