We are thrilled to announce that BGC Okanagan has received a generous anonymous donation of $10,000, specifically designated to help Okanagan families cover the cost of their children’s summer camp fees.

“We are incredibly grateful for the donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, for this gift which comes at a crucial time for many families in our community,” said Jeremy Welder, CEO of BGC Okanagan. “Summer camps provide invaluable opportunities for personal growth, and this support allows us to extend these benefits to more children.”

Sponsorship will cover overnight summer camp fees by any provider

Thanks to this donation, BGC Okanagan can offer sponsorships for children planning to attend ANY overnight summer camp this year. Families are encouraged to contribute as much as they can towards their camper’s experience, with the understanding that costs may vary based on camper age, program, length of stay, and camp fee structures.
