Canadian Camping Appreciation Weekend is a national initiative coordinated by the Canadian Camping and RV Council for members to thank their campers for their patronage over the past camping season and to help celebrate the Camping and RV lifestyle.
Private Campgrounds in Canada will be able to participate in the Camping Appreciation Weekend from coast-to-coast, many offering discounted programs 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.
“CCRVC looked at the opportunity to help Care Camps and assist with their mandate to offer children with cancer the chance to go camping as a true privilege and something that we really wanted to be a part of. We are truly honoured and proud to be a partner of Care Camps and we are looking forward to further developing our relationship in the future.” said Cara Csizmadia, CCRVC’s Membership and Benefits Coordinator.
Campers can access a special weekend stay offer of two-nights, get the third night at 50% off at participating campgrounds. Half of the third night’s revenue will be donated to Care Camps to help kids with cancer go to camp to find hope and healing in the outdoors.
“The importance of Private Campgrounds has certainly been amplified during the COVID 19 pandemic when more and more Canadians looked at camping for the first time as a safe and healthy way to get outdoors and vacation responsibly” said Shane Devenish, CCRVC’s Executive Director. “Campgrounds have 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 as they have demonstrated over the last 2 years.”
