The Fresh Air Fund gives grants directly to camp programs to subsidize fees for campers who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend and not directly to campers.

To find an appropriate camp for your child you can refer to the Ontario Camping Association, an agency that recognizes camps for standards, safety and care. You can visit their website at to find camps that may have received grants and would be a good fit for your child.

Once you have chosen an appropriate camp that meets the needs of your child, contact the camp directly and inquire about session and subsidy availability. It is best to contact the camp as early in the year as possible. Many camps have waiting lists.

If you require financial assistance, ask if the camp offers subsidies to help pay for the camp fees and what their process would be to qualify.
