Welcome to SunHaven
SunHaven is a five-day summer camp run
by the Kids
Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta
(KCCFA). The camp is uniquely designed
for children ages seven to 15 who have a
parent with cancer. The programs and
activities help foster friendships and
self-confidence in a supportive,
team-based environment. It’s a place
where kids can set aside their worries
for a week of fun and laughter with
children in similar circumstances.
Where is SunHaven?
SunHaven takes place at KCCFA’s
Camp
Kindle, which is situated on 160
acres of rolling pasture in the Rocky
Mountain Forest Reserve. The camp is
just outside the town of Water Valley,
83 kilometres northwest of Calgary and
280 kilometres south of Edmonton.
Who will look after my child at camp?
The Kids
Cancer Care Foundation has a 20-year
history of providing memorable camp
experiences for Alberta children
affected by cancer. Our camp counsellors
are professionally trained and fully
experienced. A fulltime registered nurse
is on hand 24/7 to ensure the health and
safety of campers and our low
camper-to-staff ratio makes for a
positive experience for all.
What will my child do at camp?
Your child will take part in a range of
age-appropriate activities, from arts
and crafts to hiking, archery, swimming,
campfire sing songs, orienteering,
wetland studies, survival skills and
animal games.
How old should my
child be?
Your child must be between the ages of
seven and 15.
How much does it cost?
It costs $400 to send one child to
SunHaven for one week. The cost includes
all meals, accommodation, transportation
(to and from pickup points in Calgary,
Red Deer and Edmonton), supervision and
programs.
Are there subsidies?
A generous gift from the Leonard and
Faigel Shapiro and Family Trust will
make 25 subsidies of $150 each available
to families on a first-come,
first-served basis. Eligible families
with more than one child may be granted
more than one subsidy.
