Registration Fees
Camp can be an expensive endeavour for families; that is why Easter Seals Nova Scotia heavily subsidizes the cost of each week of camp to create an affordable registration fee for our campers.
Registration Fees:
- Price for all sessions (except Explorers and Mariners): $975
- Price for Explorers and Mariners $875
While the Easter Seals Nova Scotia staff may be able to suggest potential sponsoring organizations in the community, it is the responsibility of the camper/caregivers to seek this sponsorship.
There are many options for families to secure funding for camp. Options include:
- Service groups such as Rotary Clubs, Faith-based groups – churches, clubs (CWL), Kiwanis Clubs, Kinette Club, Kinsmen Club, Knights of Columbus, Lion’s/Lioness Clubs, Leo Club, Royal Canadian Legion, School Associations, Local banks, Local Businesses, etc.
- Respite funding from the Department of Community Services
- Fundraising with Friends and Family
