Cans 4 Kids returns for the first time since 2019

An idea that blossomed almost two decades ago when one of the owners of Nechako Bottle Depot, Rick Neufeld, approached the camp about a bottle drive.

“Our family started going to Ness lake right around that time, and fundraising is always an issue. There seemed to be people that needed some help trying to cover the costs, so that is where the original idea came from,” says Neufeld. ” One of the older directors, Paul Bailey, we started a program where people would donate their containers.”

Nechako Bottle Depot also matches all the donations received throughout the day.

Allowing kids to go camping is extremely important to both Dave and Rick, believing it gives kids the chance to learn and grow.

“It is just wild independence,” says Horton. ” We’ve got great supervision, we’ve got excellent training, but in the end, it is kids making their own decisions.”

Cans 4 Kids is an annual event. Ness Lake bible camp urges people to start saving cans, bottles and milk jugs now so that you can donate next year.
