Local radio personality, Jason Farr, led the way in developing fundraising initiatives to help Camp Maple Leaf continue the Canadian Council of War Veterans Association's legacy of providing a free summer camp experience for children of economically or socially disadvantaged families. Jason committed himself to “jail” at the Centre Mall until he raised $2,000 to send kids to Camp Maple Leaf. It was a huge success and Jason met his goal. Jason’s commitment to Camp Maple Leaf and our
Send a Kid to Camp
Fund have been with us ever since.
Since 1998 the Send a Kid to Camp fund has contributed to sending over 4,000 children to Camp Maple Leaf.
We are very pleased with two new partnerships. The first with the Canadian Military will see military families from across the country gain access to Camp Maple Leaf for family camping, respite, and children's camping experiences. The second with Settlement and Integration Service Organization (SISO) in Hamilton focusses on introducing children and families to all that Ontario has to offer through a summer camp experience.
