Operated by Christian or Jewish organizations, these camps provide a broad range of outdoor activities.

These camps serve children and adults with disabilities. Some camps focus on providing adaptive facilities for physical limitations, some serve campers with developmental disabilities/behavioural challenges, and others integrate special needs campers into traditional camp settings. You don't need previous training in working with special needs, just the willingness to learn.

These camps are often in remote locations near provincial parks, and may have limited access to modern comforts like electricity and WiFi. There will be a focus on teaching wilderness skills to kids, and programs typically involve multi-day hiking or canoe excursions.
