Charity
Camp BUCKO
Camp BUCKO is the official charity of Beach Ribfest.
Camp is open to burn survivors between the ages of 7-17. Adult burn survivors may be involved as volunteers at camp. The camp has grown to over 70 children attending the week long camp in August. They will help arrange transportation for campers all across Ontario. They have had campers from other provinces attend our camp if there was not a burn camp for them to attend in their home province.
They are a registered charity providing the program through generous donations from firefighters associations, service groups, and other public and private organizations. A board of volunteers from across Ontario plans for camp all year. With the donations they receive they are able to fully fund each child attending camp, transportation to and from camp and each child to receive a camp shirt.
Health providers, firefighters, adult burn survivors, and burn support staff attend camp to support the experienced Kinark Outdoor Centre staff.
