Recreation Programs
Recently
The 24th CAFA camp in February 2026 welcomed 48 campers equally spread amongst young girls and boys 10 – 18 years. The six junior leaders and 15 adult leaders pictured) worked with the campers in their colour groups and cabin groups. These tremendous leaders are pictured here, and since all but one of them were either ANIQUEM staff or former ANIQUEM patients and campers, they were able to really connect with the younger campers. Attending the camp also were the CAFA Program Manager and two other Board Members.
Our program
Most of the kids who attend the CAFA camps have experienced bullying, isolation, feelings of shame and self-doubt, simply because they have burn scars. Our three day burn camps are specifically designed to counteract these negative feelings. The kids learn that they are not alone, that the scars are not their fault and that scars do not define who they are.
In Their Words
Thoughts from some campers:
“Truthfully I am having a very good time, I love the swimming pools, the cabins , the games and everything at camp. Many thanks for being part of CAFA.”
"It's a place where I am able to make good friends and I appreciate it a lot”
“Thanks to Aniquem and Cafa I can have a normal adolescence without fear of being judged because of my scars”
