It’s Camp Day!

PRINCE GEORGE – Today marks the 50th anniversary of Camp Day. That’s when all the proceeds from the sale of coffee or iced coffees go to the Tim Hortons Foundations Camps.

“We facilitate kids, local kids, to go to camp, and I’ve been a part of that process and it’s really life changing,” says Wende Bracklow, one of the owners. “For some kids, that’s their first time on an airplane. They meet people. They gain skills that they wouldn’t otherwise gain at home. They go kayaking. They may have never done that. They’re just learning life-changing skills, growth, development, all the things that are impactful for youth today.”

Here are some of the stats associated with Camp Day:

* Over 320,000 youth have been supported through multi-year development programs in the foundation’s 50-year history.
