For 1 week at the end of summer, Camp Lifeline Away hosts siblings and children of sick family members for an unforgettable sleepover camp experience. Hosted in northern Ontario on a waterfront property, the camp boasts a myriad of activities such as boating, baking, hiking, archery, art therapy, journaling, daily bonfires, performances and more. Camp Lifeline Away offers a unique camping experience filled with much needed opportunities to play, laugh and grow in a supportive environment, tailored specifically for siblings and children of sick family members. 

The opportunity to connect with peers from all over Canada who have experienced the upheaval that come when home life is transformed by illness, is invaluable.  It’s a chance to relax, escape, connect and feel.  Surrounded by nature, sports, and encouragement, campers are guided through daily journal prompts, collaborative art projects that focus on exploring your inner strength, and wholesome fun. The professional staff ensure that every child feels seen and heard. They return home renewed, refreshed and calm. The rustic air plus the cocoon of care is magical.
