Brigadoon Village is the largest pediatric medical camp in Canada. Each year, they deliver programming for more than 4,500 Atlantic Canadian children & youth with health conditions and other life challenges through nearly 30 camp programs.
Children who attend Brigadoon Village’s programs are all living with a chronic health condition or other life challenge. Their programs are structured such that children living with the same illness or life challenge attend a camp specifically designed for those living with their needs.

Make-A-Wish
Make-A-Wish works with communities across Canada to provide kids with critical illnesses the opportunity to realize their most heartfelt wish. For children battling a critical illness, a wish gives kids the opportunity to look outside their illness and restores a sense of childhood for the child, and normalcy for the family.
Make-A-Wish is on a quest to bring every eligible child's wish to life, as an integral part of a child's treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness.
