What these measures tell us.
Visits show how often people take part; one person may make several visits. Enrolments also include repeat participation and are not a count of unique people.
These figures show the scale of participation and access. We are strengthening how we understand repeat participation, inclusive access and connection over time.
What access meant to one family.
A camp parent described what financial assistance made possible for their child.
“It allowed him to join in, play, learn, and just be a kid among new friends—and for that, we’re deeply thankful.”
Camp parent, 2025
What a volunteer noticed.
“I have seen friendships develop and supportive networks flourish.”
