Free Wellness Camp for Young Women

Every August, the Looking Glass Summer Camp offers young women, between the ages of 14 and 23, experiencing disordered eating an 8-day camp focusing on wellness, supportive nutrition, fun, and friendship – all in the spectacular setting of Loon Lake Forestry Camp in British Columbia.

Looking Glass partners with outdoor adventure specialists, Pinnacle Pursuits, to create a camp filled with adventure, fun, and many memorable experiences. Together, they offer a rich program of activities designed to inspire, educate, and transform – all while having fun and enjoying the company of new friends.

The Looking Glass Summer Camp is geared to young women between the ages of 14 and 23 who are experiencing disordered eating, but are medically and psychiatrically stable.

Registration for Summer Camp is now open! Click here for more information about registration. Out-of-province Canadians are welcome to apply, but acceptance depends on space.
