Empowering Survivors
Summer camp for kids
Burn Camp has been teaching young burn survivors that “attitude is everything” since it was founded in 1994. Every summer, Burn Camp welcomes around 70 children and 60 fire fighter and nurse volunteers for a week of connection, empowerment and fun.
Highlights of Burn Camp include early morning polar bear dips in the lake, swimming, hiking, the annual talent show, a famous water fight, and a dance on the last night of camp. Survivors aged six to eighteen experience personal growth at this inclusive week-long camp where kids are free to be themselves.
Program Information

Burn Camp will be held at the Cheakamus Centre in Squamish from July 20 – 25, 2025. Camp Kick Off will take place on Sunday, July 20 with games, food, a welcoming ceremony and lots of fun!
Following Camp Kick Off campers and camp counsellors travel to Squamish together for a full week of activities in a tranquil forest setting. Counsellors are made up of fire fighters, burn survivors, doctors, nurses, and therapists all of whom donate their time to planning and running Burn Camp every year. BC and Yukon-based burn survivors aged six to eighteen are eligible.
