Big Night IN 2018

All proceeds from Big Night IN, Camp Awakening's unique, stay-at-home, "non-event" event, will benefit the Sponsor A Camper Program providing financial assistance. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to provide subsidies to the more than 65% of camper families who require our financial support.

Founded in 1982, Camp Awakening is a registered charity offering summer camp programs that give youth with physical disabilities the opportunity to increase independence, make lasting friendships, develop confidence and accomplish things they never thought possible.

Camp Awakening partners with established summer camps offering a wide range of activities and a dedicated accessible cabin. Our summer camp and leadership programs create opportunities for youth with physical disabilities to make friends with other campers just like them and accomplish things that they never thought they could before. Building on over 35 years of experience, Camp Awakening counsellors are great role models and mentors who are skilled at adapting activities to meet each campers’ desire for adventure.

As a registered charity, Camp Awakening does not receive any government funding. We rely on the generosity of individuals, foundations, corporations and community groups to provide the funds necessary to make camp happen each summer.
