Hemophilia Ontario and YMCA Wanakita have been providing an integrated camp experience for children ages 7-16 through their partnership since 1991. This is our signature camp program that provides children living with an inherited bleeding disorder the opportunity to experience overnight camp as well as meeting other children with and without bleeding disorders.

The program is unique in that, with the expertise of on-site hemophilia nurses from across the province, campers with bleeding disorders are provided with both a safe environment, as well as a place to learn to self-infuse and become medically independent.

Our camp program at YMCA Wanakita includes 1 week, 2 week, and 4 week camper options depending on age and leadership opportunities. Hemophilia Ontario offers a pre-registration process for our program at YMCA Wanakita, which takes place in approximately September of each year.

Once per-registration is complete, campers that are approved to participate in the program are offered a unique code to register directly with YMCA Wanakita in approximately October of each year.
