Burnaby Community Services hasn't added a story.
Our Story
Since 1982 Burnaby Community Services has been coordinating the Burnaby Camping Bureau which provides subsidies up to $175 for children from low income families to go to a summer camp of their choice. This program has considerable impact on the lives of participants; allowing them to overcome challenges, learning new skills and meet new friends in the community.
Each year registration to the camps increases and without additional funding and support from the community we are forced to restructure the subsidies and limit registrations to the Camping Bureau in order to minimize the impact on families while also allowing us to extend the service to as many families as possible. Once the registration limits are reached, we would add families to a wait list and do our best to register them as more funding is secured.
This is why we need your support! We are engaging in a number of new initiatives this year by collaborating with our community partners on fundraising events and pushing for internal campaigns with our corporate partners. However, these are uncertain endeavours and are not expected to raise all the needed revenue. We need your help and support to raise all the needed revenue! Your contribution will be matched dollar for dollar by our partner camps, which means your donation is actually doubled and has an even greater benefit for the children.
We hope that you will work with us to ensure children are still able to attend the summer camp of their choice. Your support is very much appreciated. Thank you so much!
Testimonial from our supporter Vega:
“Vega is proud to have its headquarters in lovely Burnaby, BC. We’re so glad to partner with Whole Foods Market to support Burnaby Camping Bureau, because we believe in moving and being outdoors in our own backyard, and want to make it possible for others to do that too!”
