Social Services Camping Fee Exemption
Social Services Camping Fee Exemption program provides individuals living with a disability and facing significant financial challenges with the opportunity to connect with nature and outdoor recreation in BC Parks; an experience that they may not otherwise be able to afford.
To support some of the province's most vulnerable citizens, BC Parks offers a limited amount of free front-country camping to:
- Children on the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development's At Home Program
- Adults receiving Persons with Disabilities (PWD) benefits from the BC Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction or from Indigenous Services Canada.
- Qualified recipients are entitled to one single campsite, or one half of a double site, per night for their (one) Camping Party for free.
Anyone visiting BC Parks is permitted a maximum total of 14 nights per park per calendar year.
