The BC Foster Parents Association (BCFPA) is a provincial organization for foster parents, run by foster parents. We are a registered non-profit charity that aims to bring together foster caregivers, social workers and other stakeholders working to continuously improve the standard of care for children in our province. For over 50 years, we have consulted about the revision and development of policy and practice within British Columbia’s child welfare sector.

Our Mission

The BCFPA represents and supports all foster parents to provide quality in-home foster care in British Columbia

Our Vision

Supporting children and youth to reach their full potential through excellence in foster care

Our Belief

Resilient Foster Parents = Empowered Children and Youth

Camps for Kids

The “Camps For Kids” grants were established by the BC Foster Parents Association to alleviate some of the costs foster parents encounter when sending their foster, adopted, or birth children to camp. There will be a maximum number of 20 grants issued per year.

Who can apply?

Any foster parent member in good standing who requires assistance to send their foster, adopted or birth child/youth between the ages of 6 –19 to camp (i.e. day camps, sports camps, away camps)

Amount of grant

An annual grant of $300.00 per family will be awarded, and may be used to cover costs for one or more eligible family members to attend the camp of their choice.
