August 2012 marked the 6th annual MS Summer Camp program for children and teens living with MS. This program offers the opportunity for youth with MS to take part in a camp that not only boasts fun and adventure, but also provide respite from the stresses associated with MS while allowing youth to share similar experiences and just be kids!

The MS Summer Camp is an opportunity for children and teens with MS to meet for a week long adventure full of fun and new friends. The camp also allows participants to enjoy a break from the stress associated with MS, in a supportive environment. See photos from past events.


2013 MS Summer Camp announcements:

Camp will be held from August 17-24, 2013!

New location – another amazing experience! Campers will be treated to a unique camp experience in the beautiful Rocky Mountains at Easter Seals Camp Horizon near Calgary, Alberta.

There have been some changes regarding travel funding for campers from outside Canada. Please see the section below on camp costs.

“[the best thing about camp was] seeing friends from last year and meeting new friends this year, and having a network of MS family”
– A camper


“[camp] allowed my daughter the opportunity to meet and get to know children of the same age with the same illness, which has made her feel less isolated than before”
– Parent of a camper


“[the best thing about camp was] that it enables the teens to get together and share their experiences with their disease, so that they see they are not alone!”
