YES! We will accept Jumpstart grants for low-income children.
Camp Sunflower was born from the understanding that all families need good quality, safe, and affordable day camps during the summer.
We understand that many families can’t afford long holidays or fancy camps. But we also know that children need a place to learn, grow, and have fun. Our goal is to provide an affordable, safe, and fun camp for children in Victoria, British Columbia.
Activities include sports, arts and crafts, dance and music.
