Between Friends is a Calgary-based non-profit organization that provides inclusive recreational and social programs for people with different abilities. Every summer, we host Camp Bonaventure, an outdoor summer day camp for youth ages 4–17 (June 29 - August 21, 2026) that brings together individuals of all abilities in a supportive and welcoming environment. They are currently recruiting volunteers (ages 12+) to support this summer at Camp Bonaventure.

 This is a great opportunity for students to gain volunteer hours, develop leadership, teamwork, and communication skills, and build meaningful connections while supporting an inclusive camp community.
