BC Lodging & Campgrounds Association
The seventh annual Canadian RVing and Camping Week runs from May 24th to 29th. Campers and RVers are invited to celebrate this week with campgrounds across Canada as they kickoff the summer camping season. Visitors could see events, discounted overnight fees or other fun activities as park owners find unique ways to celebrate the return of campers during the week.
The week is organized and sponsored by the Canadian Camping and RV Council and supported by the BC Lodging and Campgrounds Association to:
- Promote the lifestyle associated with camping and RVing.
- Promote good behaviour and respect via the Camper’s Code
- Raise funds for Care Camps to send children with cancer to camp.
Each year, the RVing and camping week supports a good cause. The proceeds gathered from this year’s celebration will benefit Care Camps, a charity that helps children with cancer enjoy camping and spending time in nature.
INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS
The Canadian RV and camping industry contribute over CA$6.2 billion to the economy, employs 67,000 individuals, and generates over $3.4 Billion to Canadian tourism.
Camping is an opportunity for families to spend time together, to create lifelong memories, and to discover Canada’s natural landscape and they have never been as important to the well-being of Canadian families as they are today.
Together in 2021, British Columbia supporters raised $3,140.06 for Care Camps of Canada, which allows children living with cancer to enjoy the joy, healing and freedom that comes from attending specialized oncology camps where they can just be themselves. The camp experience equips them with the skills necessary to meet the challenges they will face while fighting their disease.
