CCRVC Camping Appreciation Weekend to Benefit Care Camps

BURLINGTON, Ontario – Canadian Camping Appreciation Weekend is a national initiative coordinated by the Canadian Camping and RV Council (CCRVC) and its members to thank their campers for their patronage and to help celebrate the importance of the Camping and RV lifestyle, according to a press release from the organization.

Private campgrounds throughout Canada will be able to participate in the Camping Appreciation Weekend from coast-to-coast, many offering discounted site fees and events in support of Care Camps, a charity that sends Canadian kids battling cancer to specialized oncology camps where they can enjoy nature, childhood, and fun. Campers can access a special weekend stay offer of two-nights, get the third night at 50% off or other special discounts at participating campgrounds.

“CCRVC is excited about the opportunity to again partner with Care Camps during our 7th Annual Camper Appreciation Weekend to help with their fundraising efforts to give children with cancer the chance to get outside and enjoy the camping experience. We are truly honored and proud to be a partner of Care Camps and we are looking forward to a great Camper Appreciation Weekend!” said Cara Csizmadia, CCRVC’s membership and benefits coordinator.

Camping Quebec has several hundred participating campgrounds during Canadian Camping Appreciation Weekend offering two nights ( Sept. 9 and 10) for $60.00 to celebrate their 60th Anniversary as an Association! To find participating Campgrounds in Quebec click here.

“The importance of Canadian Private Campgrounds has been brought to the forefront since the COVID 19 pandemic when we saw more and more Canadians look towards camping for the first time as a safe and healthy way to get outdoors and vacation responsibly” said Shane Devenish, CCRVC’s executive director. Our Campgrounds offered the opportunity for families to spend time together, create lifelong memories, and discover Canada’s natural landscape and they have never been as important to the well being of Canadians and international travellers as they have demonstrated over the last 3 years.”

The Canadian Camping and RV Council is joined by Wayfarer Insurance this year which has generously donated $5,000 towards Care Camps fundraising objectives.

A Wayfarer spokesman said, “Wayfarer is proud to partner with the CCRVC to help raise funds for Care Camps! At Camp, kids can forget about the chemo, the radiation, and all the hard stuff that comes with cancer….and just be a child again.”
