The Zone is proud to support the Easter Seals Camp Challenge on June 11 – 12 at Camp Shawnigan!

This community based fundraising event involves groups of people participating in different camping and sporting events for 12-24 Hours. Teams are made up of co-workers, recreational groups, friends and family who collect individual pledges or organize team fundraising events to raise money towards their collective team total. Then, all proceeds go towards Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan…and that’s exactly where your team gets to celebrate and take part in the Camp Challenge!

At the Camp Challenge, the camp counselors will lead your team in fun activities like a climbing wall, pool and lake games, soccer skills, volleyball tournament and scavenger hunts! Plus, the party continues overnight with music by the campfire, glow-in-the-dark games and more, for the ultimate “Adult Summer Camp” experience!

But really, the best part is getting a taste of what your valuable fundraising provides: unforgettable Easter Seals Camp experiences to children with disabilities throughout the province!

What are you waiting for? Get your team together and sign-up to join the fun! Get more details and register here.
