Camps for Kids Grants

The Camp For Kids grants were established by BC Foster Parents Association to alleviate some of the costs member foster parents encounter when sending their foster, adopted, or birth children to camp. Depending on funds available, grants will be awarded to eligible applicants chosen at random who have applied with all relevant documentation.

• You are able to provide proof of deposit or full payment for the camp that can accompany your application form.

When to apply

Summer cycle: Applications will be accepted from February 1 – May 31 of each year. Awards will be made in June.

Fall cycle: Applications will be accepted from August 1 – October 31 of each year. Awards will be made in November.

Amount of bursary

• An annual grant of $300 per family will be awarded to BCFPA members which may be used to cover costs for one or more eligible family members to attend the camp of their choice.
