Stephen’s Send a Kid to Camp Fundraiser
Please join me: give a child-in-need a summer that can change their future…
This summer, I’m raising money for a cause that’s close to my heart: sending kids to Moorelands Camp.
Did you know that 1/4 of Toronto kids are living in poverty?
For these kids, the summer ahead won’t be filled with fun, new experiences or nature adventures. They won’t have the chance to learn and grow in a safe positive setting that teaches them to make good choices and strengthen their skills.
Research shows that just 3 days in nature can increase cognitive ability by 50%, improve self-esteem and lower rates of depression. Check out this video to see why kids love Moorelands Camp!
Help me give this amazing opportunity to Toronto kids for whom this experience is out of their reach. Together, we can empower them to transform their lives with new skills, experiences and connections with strong, positive role models.

From the hot city streets to Moorelands Camp!
Tucked away on 45 acres of sandy beaches and dense forests, accessible only by boat, is Moorelands Camp. A gem in the Algonquin Highlands, each summer our summer camp welcomes 700 children and youth from some of the poorest neighbourhoods in Toronto.
Swimming, canoeing, music, kayaking, archery, ropes courses, arts and crafts and overnight tripping… the spirit of the wilderness! And build into all this fun are character and leadership lessons – communication, teamwork, problem solving and goal setting – the development of skills necessary for life success!
Staff care deeply about the campers, supporting them as they practise positive interactions with each other and with adults, and celebrating their achievements. Campers return home bursting with great stories of their personal accomplishments, new leadership skills and wonderful memories.

An Oasis of Calm in our Busy World
Today’s kids spend their days consumed by technology and social media. As a result, they have more issues with physical health problems, anxiety and stress than ever before.
Moorelands Camp is an antidote to the sedentary behaviours and their negative health outcomes that today’s children face, especially those from low-income households.
Research shows that just 3 days in nature can increase cognitive ability by 50%, improve self-esteem and lower rates of depression…
Thank you for investing in kids in your community.
Moorelands Kids is a fiscally prudent organization, run with the highest level of stewardship of the public trust.
