SBHABC is pleased to announce that we are hosting the 3rd annual family camp. We will offer families an opportunity to attend a four-day camp at the Zajac Ranch in Mission. For those who are not familiar with the camp, check out their website at www.zajacranch.ca

This is a wonderful opportunity for families to meet with others to share experiences, to take part in a camping experience and to enjoy the outdoor activities at the ranch. Accommodation is dormitory style and all meals are included. The Ranch is located in a beautiful setting on Stave Lake in Mission.

The proposal is to run the camp from 2 pm on Saturday June 28th to 11 am on Tuesday July 1st.The camp will be specifically for families who have children with spina bifida and or hydrocephalus who range in age from 7 years to 17 years (as of January 1, 2008). Parents and siblings are invited to attend as well. Any siblings under the age of 7 will be the sole responsibility of the parent(s) as the ranch will not provide activities for them. Please note that the camp will only be open to people who have renewed their membership in 2007 & 2008.If in doubt please call or email to check.

Space is limited to approximately 65 people. This is dependant though upon acquiring funding for this project. It is important that you contact Pauline Dooley by phone 604 878 7000 or email as soon as possible if you are interested in attending or require more information. Pre-Registration applications MUST be received by Monday Mar 24th and successful applicants will be notified the week of April 7th.Date of application will be one of the criteria used in the selection of participants.

Cost- Families will be asked to provide a non-refundable registration fee of $100.00 per family. This will be payable after receiving your confirmation of acceptance in April and must be paid by Monday May 12th. Transportation to and from the camp will be the responsibility of the parents. All other costs will be borne by the association.
