... who can come for a holiday?

The Camp has established "admission criteria". A nephrologist  must review each medical history and decide if their clients meet these criteria. This is important for everyone's safety. If, in spite of these precautions, a medical emergency does occur, Camp Dorset's nursing staff work closely with your home unit as well as the Huntsville Hospital Emergency Staff.

As with hemodialysis clients, those on Peritoneal Dialysis must also meet admission criteria.  Because no nursing staff are present, PD clients must be able to perform their own exchanges or be accompanied by someone fully trained to do so.  Although we do not provide  supplies for PD clients, arrangements for storage of them is possible. Simply call your order in to your supplier & have them deliver it to Camp Dorset.  We also have a limited number of scales & IV poles which we can provide if needed.

The summer schedule allocates each week's resources to guests from specific regions of Ontario. If you are eligible to attend the camp, please check for your hospital or region in the calendar below to see which week your unit will be at Lions Camp Dorset.
