Children's Aid Foundation of Nova Scotia

The mission of the Children’s Aid Foundation of Nova Scotia (CAFNS) is to partner with communities to ensure vulnerable children and youth have the support they need to thrive.

This summer, we’re aiming to send 25 children to camp across Nova Scotia—and we need your help to make it happen. Last year, the average cost to send one child to camp was $400. Your support will help provide life-changing summer experiences for kids who deserve joy, connection, and a chance to just be kids.

“The CAFNS funding provided two youth I work with. They had ‘the best time ever’ at summer camp this year. They made positive social connections, learned many new skills and did things that scared and surprised themselves!”
