Helping your child experience camp
Camp Phoenix is open to all children aged 6 to 12, regardless of social or financial need. We offer full and partial subsidies to all campers to ensure Camp is place for everyone!
We also operate with a high ratio of staff to campers, allowing for more attention and one-on-one support to best accommodate campers with unique needs.
Our Camp Staff
All our staff at Camp Phoenix are volunteers who are leaders within their own communities across the province. They take the time out of their busy lives to be staff at Camp Phoenix and make the project a reality. Our staff is led by a team of volunteers who are experienced in summer camp operations. All staff over the age of 18 must complete their Criminal Record Check prior to becoming staff at Camp Phoenix.
Our Mission With Camp Phoenix
Camp Phoenix is an annual project of the British Columbia Youth Parliament, with one primary goal: to provide the experience of summer camp for youth who, for social or financial reasons, could not otherwise attend camp. This year, Camp Phoenix will be held at Sunbury Hall in North Delta, BC, as a four-day summer camp for campers aged 6 to 12.
Camp Phoenix is, above all else, designed to give youth who could not attend camp the opportunity to do so. Beyond recognizing the social and developmental benefits that come with participating, we, as a youth group, feel that every child deserves to experience the fun, educative experience of camping in a safe and supportive environment.
About the British Columbia Youth Parliament
The British Columbia Youth Parliament is a non-profit, non-partisan, and non-denominational youth service organization. Each year, we fulfill our motto of “Youth Serving Youth” through a variety of individual and group projects organized to serve the youth of British Columbia. The largest of these is Camp Phoenix. In the past, Camp Phoenix has run as a five-day sleepover camp for youth who would not otherwise be able to experience camp.
““There is something so special about the atmosphere of summer camp, because the purpose of everything we do is just pure fun. In my time at Camp Phoenix, I have seen first hand the way it affects campers who had not experienced this kind of environment before, and we want to give that to them. Even if it’s only for a week at a time, summer camp is such an important part of growing up.”
