YMCA Camp Wanakita
The flagship camp partnership, and home to the Community Camp Weekend on the organisation's calendar for 2026.
Camps
Six camps, so a bleeding disorder is not the reason a kid stays home.
Hemophilia Ontario camps offer children, youth and families living with inherited bleeding disorders the chance to experience camp and physical activities in a fun, safe and supported environment.
Why camps carry so much weight here
Built against isolation, on purpose
Living with hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders often means living with physical activity restrictions. Exclusion from everyday activities and popular sports, where friends and family take part all year, can lead to social isolation and low self-esteem. The organisation says this plainly on its own site, and it is why the camp programs matter so much to this community.
Our camps
The six programs
Community Camp Weekend
A weekend where the whole community camps together: families, kids and the people who support them.
Pinecrest Adventures Camp
One of the six camp programs the organisation runs for its community across Ontario.
Just the Dads Weekend
A weekend for fathers in the bleeding disorders community, named on the programs and camps pages of the live site.
Thunder Bay Family Camp
The northern Ontario family camp, so distance from Toronto is not the deciding factor.
Just the Guys and a Few Gals Weekend
One of the six camp programs listed by the organisation, with a name that tells you exactly who it is for.
The camps pages also list a Youth Adventures and Mentorship Program among the camp offerings.
