We have a golden rule at Camp Koolaree:
Nobody is excluded based on who they are or their financial background.
1 out of 4 of our campers needs financial assistance to come to camp.
With rising costs, it is all the more important to fundraise for our campership program. Giving the gift of camp allows you to support amazing summer experiences and life-long memories for youth in the Kootenays.
With all the upgrades to our camp buildings, we need to raise funds to cover these costs. Please consider making tax-deductible donations to our camp. < < < https://campkoolaree.ca/help-by-donations > > >
