About City Camp:

City Camp is the only day camp in B.C. where kids aged 5-12 / siblings of kids with cancer and blood disorders can join in on all the magic of camp while being able to sleep in their own bed at night. Hosted in close proximity to the hospital and with a medical team on-site, kids on treatment never have to miss out on the camp experience.
