We continue to try to secure more funds through solicitations to Donors and Businesses, but this is also STILL a work in progress.

We applaud our other Community Partners - the Ontario Ministry of Education & the Ottawa Catholic School Board – who have both enabled our Program to use a School for Camp Kaleidoscope in the past and hope they can continue to do so in 2026.

 

With the high level of supervision and experienced staff, the average cost per Camper for Camp Kaleidoscope's 5-day week is over $2,800+. However, our lower Fees are due to generous funding of Donors who, along with Children at Risk, wish to assist the Autism Community families with Camp opportunities that are affordable and accessible.


ALL Camp Confirmations will require PAYMENT IN FULL once you receive your Invoice!


Deposits are a requirement and can be paid by e-transfer to bambina@childrenatrisk.ca (No password required), or by calling our Office at 613-741-8255, for other options.


Please note that the Deposit is Non-Refundable, but it will be applied to Camp Fees and/or Membership.
