Our partnership with the Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions (SMFC) has been recently highlighted in the local news. Muskoka 411 wrote about SMFC’s support of raising money for various organizations, including Moorelands Kids, in order to give every child the opportunity to attend summer camp.
Jasmine Botter, the Fund Development & Community Partnerships Coordinator at SMFC, demonstrated her enthusiasm about their fundraising initiatives with Moorelands Kids, saying “At Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions, we believe every child deserves the chance to experience the joy and growth that summer camp provides”.
SFMC is a non-profit multi-service agency that provides many programs including child protection services in the District of Muskoka and Simcoe. Since Moorelands Camp is located within the Muskoka area, a partnership between the two organizations made perfect sense!
Moorelands Camp Director, David Borsook, noted his excitement at the partnership, stating,
“At Moorelands, we bridge the opportunity gap by providing a deeply subsidized overnight leadership program. Without amazing partners like Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions, many children would be missing out. Every child deserves the transformative experience of camp and this is what Simcoe Muskoka Family Connexions Camp Program provides.”
At Moorelands Camp, kids get to experience everything that overnight summer camp has to offer, including fun outdoor activities to get kids excited about spending time in nature. All of our programs are rooted in positive youth development, to build on every child’s leadership strengths and to instill confidence. Additionally, all of our spots at camp are significantly subsidized, with camp costs starting as low as $25, so each child can have the chance to go to camp!
We’re excited to be working with SFMC to give many kids the opportunity to reap the many benefits of summer camp. If you’re looking to support our efforts, feel free to donate to our Send A Kid to Camp campaign. Each contribution goes towards covering the costs of sending one kid to attend a week of summer camp, which totals $1780. Consider donating today!
