This spring, Tim Hortons Foundation Camp supported us in sending 11 of our youth to an unforgettable day camp experience.

This is the second year that our partnership with the foundation has provided our youth with first-time experiences to explore nature, travel outside of their community, and most importantly, meaningfully connect with their peers. Our youth participated in various team-building activities including low ropes challenges, interactive farm life education, and “living lab” experiential learning. We hope to partner for a third year and bring more youth for this life-changing opportunity next year!

“Overall, an amazing experience. Camp Counselors were very helpful and made sure everyone
was safe around the animals.”

“I loved meeting and petting the animals, and the misty light rain weather that brought out the
nature side of the trip.”

“It was a great experience. I have been in a camping setting before when I was younger. But I
feel like everyone was on the same page and together.”
