Each year, the RVing and camping week supports a good cause. The proceeds gathered from the celebration currently benefit Care Camps, a charity that helps children with cancer enjoy camping and spending time in nature.
The Canadian RV and camping industry contributes over CA$16.2 billion to the economy, employs 141,000 individuals, has seen its popularity boom amongst consumers since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Camping is an opportunity for families to spend time together, to create lifelong memories, and to discover Canada’s natural landscape.
Camping is outdoors, fun, safe and good for the well being of people.
Since 2021, British Columbia supporters have raised over $21,500 for Care Camps of Canada, which allows children living with cancer to enjoy the joy, healing and freedom that comes from attending specialized oncology camps where they can just be themselves. The camp experience equips them with the skills necessary to meet the challenges they will face while fighting their disease.
Many of these Campground/RV Parks are also participating in “Camping Appreciation Weekend” September 6 – 8, 2024.
