This summer, we will be hosting a young adult camp at Camp Shawnigan and a young adult camp at Camp Squamish. These camps will be open to participants who are aged 19-25 and have a disibility. In order to make our programs accessible to as many campers as possible, we will be giving priority to campers who have not participated in the Leader in Training program before.
Camp Shawnigan: This is a large, young adults only, camp that is 4 days in length. It will run from the 23rd to the 26th of August and is run completely by volunteers. We will accept as many campers as we can based on the number of volunteers we receive. The cost for the Shawnigan young adult camp is $275/participant.
Camp Squamish: This is a small, 7 day long, young adult camp that will be run at Camp Squamish during their regular week of camp from August 9th - 15th. We will be accepting only a small number of applicants for this week. The cost for the Squamish young adult camp is $550/participant.
The registration process will be the same as for our other programs. Applications will be posted online on the first Monday of April. Completed, original applications will be accepted at our head office: 3981 Oak Street, Vancouver. We will have space for 18 campers, including up to 3 campers who attend with personal support workers.
Campers who need financial support are suggested to contact their local lions clubs in advance. If you need contact information for a lions club, feel free to get in touch with Jennifer Blair, our camp registrar (campregistration@lionsbc.ca or 1-800-818-4483, 604-873-1865 ext 422)
We are very excited about Young Adult Camp and are looking forward to welcoming some of our graduated campers back to camp!
