Your Impact
The Enbridge Canoe for Kids is the largest fundraiser supporting Christie Lake Kids each year, and is an essential fundraiser for Christie Lake Camp.
Nearly 400 low income children and youth aged 8-15 attend 12 days of summer camp programs at picturesque Christie Lake in Perth. These kids would not otherwise have the chance to attend camp, and may not otherwise travel outside the city; we cover all costs and transportation. While they learn about naturelore and campcraft, how to swim and canoe, they also learn how to feel successful and confident, optimistic and resilient. Children return to camp year after year, making lifelong friendships and lasting memories.
