This September, there is a wonderful opportunity for families who would like to support Sick Kids Foundation!
Leading up to the event, you will have the opportunity to raise as much money as you can for the Sick Kids Foundation. On the day of the event, you will navigate the walk route (you choose how far you walk), from camp site to camp site, each with its own unique name and activities. At each camp site, there will be a different activity for you to participate in with your family. You will play, get creative, get sticky, sing and cheer and enjoy good, camp fun.
Camp For Keeps is super organized with shuttles scheduled to leave all camp sites (check points) throughout the day so if you or your children are “done”, you can easily get back to the starting point. They have prepared so many fun and exciting activities along the way and look forward to a day full of fun from approximately 8am to 8pm (for those who are in it for the long haul), ending off with a camp fire (and hopefully some more S’mores).
On Saturday June 1st, I joined Camp for Keeps on their Orientation Day. This day was set up to get registered participants excited about the actual event and to show others just how much fun it will be.
I was completely convinced on the fun factor!
When I arrived, they had tables set up with all kinds of crafts and activities:
I was surrounded by a group of people who had so much energy and were so keen to walk together as a group towards one goal; to change the future of kids’ health!
After a pledge and a warm up, we were off on the first leg of our walk together:
When we arrived at our campsite, we were greeted with enthusiastic counsellors who guided us to a table with food to give us energy:
And after we were re-hydrated and re-energized, there were plenty of games and activities to play:
The walk was completed with a delicious S’mores Treat that was sinfully delicious:
I absolutely adored the added “touch” with the idea of a campfire! You can’t have camp without one of those, that would be my favourite part because for those of you who don’t know me well, I LOVE to sing!
Will your family consider making a team “cabin” and help to raise money for Sick Kids this fall?
