For a second year, the Mile End Mission is making plans to send a group of children to the Quebec Lodge Outdoor Centre on Lake Massawippi for another wonderful week of summer camp. Our partnership project with the Quebec Lodge, which we call ‘A Nature Mission’, aims to provide the Mission’s city kids with a fun, hands-on learning experience about nature, the environment and healthy living skills. Recruiting most of its teachers from their partners at Bishop University‘s education program, the Quebec Lodge team promises a truly enriching summer experience!
The camp will take place from July 9th until August 11th, with small groups of children taking part in a one-week stay during this four-week time frame. With a cost of $500 per week for each child, we are hoping to raise enough funds to send 10-15 kids to camp again this year.
The Anglican Foundation of Canada has graciously continued to support us in realizing this initiative by having us join their Say Yes! to Kids 2023 online fundraising platform. We are very happy to know that the funds we raise on this platform will be further enhanced by the Anglican Foundation of Canada.
Our kids really need a break from the city and from all the cares and worries they face in our increasingly challenging world. Please help make their nature experience happen by donating to the Mile End Community Mission’s team on the Say Yes! To Kids 2023 campaign portal which is posted on our Facebook page.
