Celebrating Simcoe & Muskoka Camps Supporting Local Kids in Need
We are excited to shine a spotlight on the incredible local camp facilities that have stepped up to provide free camp spots and discounted registrations for our clients facing financial hardship.
Every year, we fundraise to give kids in need the chance to attend summer camp programs of their choosing. The kids we support often face complicated challenges at a young age, making camp experiences even more important for their learning and development. Thanks to the generosity of our camp partners, we can stretch our funds further and help more children create lasting memories and learn valuable life skills.
The benefits that camps provide to kids in need are immense. They offer community connections, cultural engagement, personal growth opportunities, and set them on a path to success in adulthood.
“At Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions, we believe every child deserves the chance to experience the joy and growth that summer camp provides,” says Jasmine Botter, our agency’s Fund Development & Community Partnerships Coordinator. “The generosity of our camp partners plays a vital role in making this possible for the children we serve. We are deeply grateful for their support and commitment to our community.”
The camps themselves are just as enthusiastic about the partnership. “By contributing to this remarkable organization, we help ensure that children can experience the joy and growth that camp provides.” says Ashley Duarte-Devlin, Owner & Director at Camp Dreamwood. “We are honored to play a part in enriching the lives of these incredible young individuals by helping more campers benefit from this valuable experience”.
Another camp partner shared, “We believe in helping allow as many youth in our community the opportunity to be involved in physical activity and can’t thank Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions to allowing us to be a part of this amazing initiative,” says Kim Nicholl, Club Administrator at South Simcoe United.
This year, a total of 54 local camps and extracurricular facilities have partnered with our Camp Program. A list of the camps offering clients of our agency free spots and discounts can be viewed on our website here. We are deeply thankful to all the camp facilities and donors making a difference in the lives of so many children.
