Camping McKenzie's 2025 campain

- Friendly race in honor of Safia  -

Mobilizing for a future without cancer 

Many of us have been touched, in one way or another, by cancer. Having been close to the beautiful Safia, who left us at the beginning of the summer, and to all her family, we want to get involved with this cause and make a real difference. 

For several years now, we've organized a small walk/run/swim challenge at the campground to encourage people to get moving as a family, and we take advantage of the opportunity to make donations to a cause close to our hearts. This year, in Safia's memory, the event will be held in support of the Charles-Bruneau Foundation.  

Camping Plage McKenzie pledges to donate $2 for every kilometer walked/run and $10 for every swimmer who completes their swim.

You can also support us by making a donation on this page.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
