And if you’re not quite ready to say goodbye… 👀 Keep an eye out for what’s coming this fall with our W.E.S.O.A.R! programs! 🍂

Thank you for making this summer one to remember.

Until next summer! 👋 ☀️

With summer wrapped up, we’ve been looking back at all the fun, adventures, and memories we made at Camp Bonaventure 2026! 🌞

From big adventures and new friendships to swimming, crafts, games, silly moments, and plenty of laughs! It was one for the books!

A huge thank you to our incredible campers, families, staff, and volunteers for making this summer so special. We couldn’t have done it without you! 💚

Already looking ahead? 👀 Mark your calendars!
The 2027 Camp Guide Books will be available January 20, 2027. 📅✨

Until then… enjoy a little look back at some of our favourite summer moments! ☀️

It’s Thankful Thursday, and today we want to give a big thank you to the Canadian Natural Resources Limited team for coming out to host lunch and spend time with our members. We appreciate you being part of the day and helping make camp a little more special.

We’re grateful for your continued support of Between Friends!

We’re wrapping up August with a huge thank you to all of the corporate volunteer teams who joined us this month!

Thank you to Keyera, SFC Energy, Canadian Natural Resources Limited, Cresco Wealth Management, Honda Canada, Enbridge, United Way of Calgary and Area, Cedarglen Homes, RJC Engineers and Nutrien for spending time with us this summer. Whether you were helping out at camp, working in the garden, or hosting a bbq lunch, you helped make our programs better and our summer more memorable for everyone involved.

The work you put in will continue to make a difference long after summer is over. Thank you for being part of the Between Friends community!

A huge THANK YOU to Calgary's Emergency Management & Community Safety personnel for spending time with our campers over the last few weeks! 🚒🚑❤️

These visits were such a meaningful opportunity for our campers and staff to learn more about the incredible work EMCS does in our community. Just as importantly, it gave emergency crews the chance to learn more about the unique experiences, needs, and strengths of children and youth with disabilities.

Together, we’re helping build understanding, connections, and a more inclusive community for everyone. ❤️

Thank you for taking the time to visit, connect, answer questions, and create such memorable experiences for our campers! We are so grateful for your partnership and hope to see you again soon!
