Camp Maple Leaf was first established in 1955 by the Canadian Council of War Veterans to honor those who have served and given their lives for our country. Each summer the original Camp Maple Leaf program, located in Ontario, provides programs for hundreds of children from Canadian military families (serving military and Veterans) as well as programs for children with unique life challenges.
In 2022, Camp Maple Leaf came to Greenhill Lake, New Brunswick, and for the past two years has offered summer camp programs for children from serving military and veterans’ families throughout Atlantic Canada. This summer, Camp Maple Leaf will once again be offering two one-week fun-filled camp programs for children from military families (ages seven to 16) at Greenhill Lake.
For children, the frequent relocations inherent to military life can challenge their ability to develop lasting friendships. They can cope with unique uncertainties such as lengthy deployments of family members, the impact of an injury to a parent, the stress to families involved in military service, and for some, the impact of grief and loss. Camp brings these kids together to build their community, connect them with peers, and encourage personal growth – all done in a natural setting with fun, activity, and of course, silly camp programs.
Camp Maple Leaf Greenhill Lake is an exceptional summer camp nestled in the beautiful hills and forests west of Fredericton. The camp offers amazing swimming and boating facilities on a picture-perfect woodland lake as well as forested hiking trails, acres of open fields, and endless natural woodlands to explore and discover.
Camp Maple Leaf is a registered charity with a goal of helping its campers discover their unique strengths, experience the fun and excitement of camp and develop friendships that follow them home. Thanks to the generous support of donors and partners, Camp Maple Leaf can ensure that every child who wants to come to camp is able to do so.
