Brigadoon Village Information

Brigadoon Village is a non-profit recreational facility on Aylesford Lake in the Annapolis Valley. With our partners, we deliver year-round camp programming to children, youth, and families living with health conditions or other life challenges in Atlantic Canada. The transformational effect of a camping experience is life-altering. For children and youth with a chronic illness or condition, opportunities for self-discovery can be limited by definitions of disease, treatments, conditions, and stereotypes. Brigadoon is a place where campers come to experience new things, meet friends who are facing similar challenges, and just be themselves…not a patient or a chart full of symptoms. Our guiding principles lead program development: to live sustainably, to be innovative, to be environmentally mindful, to be creative, to be compassionate, to be accountable, to be accessible, to create and build partnerships, to be community–orientated, and of course, to have exceptional fun. The generous support of our donors makes camp possible!
