Care Partner Camp

ONE DAY EVENT

Care Partner Camp is a free, one-day, hands-on event created to help family members and care partners build confidence in the technical skills
of caregiving. Whether you’re supporting someone with mobility challenges, memory loss, or other health needs, this event offers practical, real-world training to help you feel more prepared at home.

SMALL GROUP LEARNING

Participants will rotate through interactive stations led by experienced professionals and supported by health professions students. The camp welcomes care partner dyads, care recipients and their care partners, to attend together. Respite support is available for individuals receiving care.

KEY TOPICS

Participants will learn how to safely assist with transfers and mobility, support eating and daily routines, prevent pressure injuries, and monitor basic health changes that signal when extra help is needed. The day also covers effective communication strategies, supporting choice and dignity, and understanding how to navigate care options and community resources.

Welcome to care Partner Camp!

Join us for a day of hands-on learning, practical skill building, and meaningful connection with other caregivers. This experience is designed for individuals who support a loved one and want real tools to feel more confident at home.

You’ll learn directly from healthcare professionals while practicing essential caregiving skills, gaining insight into common challenges, and exploring strategies that support safety, independence, and quality of life. You’ll also connect with other care partners who understand the realities of caregiving and the importance of learning together.

Care Partner Camp offers practical education, supportive resources, and a collaborative environment focused on helping caregivers feel prepared, capable, and supported. We look forward to learning alongside you.
