Trailblazers Training and Camp Bursary Fund

AboutFace offers training focused on working with and supporting children and youth with a facial difference to camps across Canada. The Camp Bursary Fund provides bursaries for children and youth to attend Trailblazers-trained Camps.

Camps that receive training will be “Trailblazers Approved,” indicating they are inclusive spaces for the facial difference community and eligible for bursary support from AboutFace.

The training covers topics such as:

Introduction to facial differences
