Camp Funding

Attending camps, sports or recreation activities, allows children the opportunity to grow allowing kids to become independent and self-confident, while socializing and making new friends, and even learning new skills. CRCCS recognizes that financial barriers may occur or focus for the importance of this may occur when faced with a loss in the family.

Fun for the Kids and Connecting for Families

The Charlene Reaveley Children’s Charity provides funding for families with children to attend summer camp, camp day programs and/or family retreats. Grieving children deserve the opportunity to enjoy what childhood has to offer even while experiencing the loss of a loved one.

Camp applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. Because each child and/or family is unique and may have specific needs and interests, CRCCS offers many options for funding for programs and/or camps. Each application is reviewed individually and funds are given towards camps and programs up to a designated maximum.

To qualify for the CRCCS camp program the applicant needs to meet the following criteria:

Loss of parent and/or sibling
Have not received previous funding for another camp program for CRCCS
Completed a client application

Once applicants have completed the client application and approved, funding is available for:

An individual camp program for each child in the household (includes day programs, overnight camps, sports program, etc)
A family retreat for the entire family (list of recommended retreats offered but not limited to)
