Karis Family Camps are Christian, faith-based, fully supported, and accessible vacation experiences hosted by Karis Disability Services in Ontario and Saskatchewan. They are designed for people with disabilities and their families. Our family camps usually range from a weekend to week-long adventures!

Our family camps welcome families who have a member with a disability. This includes adults with disabilities. If we have extra space, we may welcome families who do not experience disability to participate in a fun-filled camp. All types of families are welcome, from caregivers with children, to adult siblings.

When registration is live, you will find links to register on this page, just above this section. For most camps, registration is open to everybody. Due to the popularity of our Elim Lodge family camp, participants are invited to register through a draw.

Each camp has different rates. Camps that take place over 4 or 5 days are generally more expensive than weekend family camps, and some locations need to charge more depending on site costs. If finances are a challenge for you, be sure to reach out to us at familycamp@karis.org so we can see what we can do to make camp possible!

Everybody is welcome to apply to volunteer at a Karis Family Camp! Please note that because the family camp experience includes Christian worship and teaching, volunteers will need to be willing to support people's faith experiences and the values of Karis Family Camp.

Volunteers receive training so they can support families who experience disability to have an amazing time vacationing together! Volunteers do not need to have previous experience in supporting people with disabilities. They will not be asked to provide personal care. Volunteers will need to have a camper-centered approach and be ready for new experiences. We have an urgent need for volunteers so we can offer family camp to more families. You will be enriching many lives, including your own!

Yes! We welcome general donations to Karis Family Camps, but you are also welcome to designate which family camp you're donating to, or the family/volunteer you're supporting in the comments field of the volunteer form. You will need to enter a dollar amount, select "donate now," and then select the Family Camp designation on the donation form.
