Under the sponsorship of the Scott Mission, more than 600 children and youth from low-income families left the towers of Toronto for the great outdoors this summer.
Although the cost of a six-day session at the 100-acre campground is just over $600, families pay between $10 and $40, with donations covering the remainder.
“Kids go year after year,” said mission director David Smith. “Many of them become camp counsellors and go on to have productive happy lives even though their childhoods were full of challenges.”
The camp in Caledon, Ont. was purchased in 1957.
