Zajac Ranch

Zajac Ranch, located on the shores of Stave Lake, in Mission, BC, serves children with serious and chronic illnesses and disabilities during summer months.
(1)

Zajac Ranch is also open year-round to entertain group bookings. In 1999, Mel Zajac had a vision to build a ranch facility to provide camp experiences for children with chronic and life-limiting conditions throughout British Columbia and Canada. This vision was inspired by the incredible impact he has seen through the ‘Hole in the Wall’ camps created by good friend of the Foundation, Paul Newman.

Launched five years later, Zajac Ranch for Children became a realization of this vision and remains the Foundation’s most ambitious project to date. Zajac Ranch, set within 44 acres of beautiful wilderness and western-themed camp facilities, rests on the shores of Stave Lake in Mission, BC. The ranch is conveniently located one hour east of Vancouver, BC, and can comfortably host 120 guests. In the summer months, Zajac Ranch for Children provides camps for children and young adults with chronic illnesses and disabilities. These experiences give participants the opportunity to explore the outdoors while developing greater social and environmental awareness, increased self-confidence and positive growth in attitudes towards physical activity.
