Due to the serious wildfire situation in the Thompson–Okanagan and the Province of BC’s State of Emergency, the PADYS Board has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2026 CNIWT Deaf & HH Family Camp.
Evacuations, highway closures, extreme heat, and unsafe air quality have created conditions that make it impossible to safely move forward with camp this year. CNIWT will be rescheduled to 2027, and all registrations will be refunded within 30 days.
We know this news is disappointing, and we are holding our families, volunteers, and communities close during this challenging time. Please take care and stay safe!
