Summer camp is more than a week of activities!
For many kids, it is where confidence starts to grow...

Adapted and inclusive camps create spaces where kids:
• Try new things in ways that work for them
• Build friendships through shared experiences
• Develop skills that carry into school and everyday life
• Feel a true sense of belonging

Across Calgary, these camps are changing what participation looks like and who gets to be included.
