Financial Assistance Program
Our hope is that finances will never prevent a child from being able to attend one of our programs. To help combat this we created the Campership program.
The Campership program is a way of providing financial assistance to families that need it to help send their children to camp. We are able to provide this assistance due to generous individuals, businesses, and other non-profits and churches in the province.
To be able to apply for Camp Kannawin’s Campership fund you first must attempt to use Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart Program or Kidsport.
