Camp Jude
Because every child deserves to go to camp…
Launched in 2022, Camp Jude is designed to support the needs of children ages 5-12 who have experienced trauma and as a result exhibit behaviours that prevent them from participating in traditional day camps. Camp Jude is designed to operate differently to support campers in having successful camp experiences. We offer higher adult to child ratios, quiet spaces for children to de-escalate and/or regulate their emotions, noise-cancelling headphones and other sensory program supplies, flexible program schedules and specialized staff that are trained in trauma-informed strategies to respond to various behaviours.
