Facilities and Accommodation

You'll have all the basics provided, and you'll have a classic Canadian summer experience. Most of your time will be spent in the great outdoors, so accommodations will be the last thing on your mind.
Camp Activities
The beauty of summer camp is that it's all about simple outdoor activities - you'll get just about the same experience as you will at any other camp. Whatever activity you love, you can teach it at a low income family camp - from dance to tennis or photography. You don't need to be an expert - the campers are just there to have an enjoyable summer and have fun while learning new skills.
The Campers
These campers are from all walks of life - and you'll be able to help them grow and learn every day. You'll teach them to embrace the simple beauty of life in a setting that's impossible not to appreciate. Of course, when all is said and done, you might get out a whole lot more than you expect. Working with low-income family campers might just have a big impact on you - and remind you that no matter where you come from, all that matters is appreciating where you are.
