Hey friends and family!

I'm once again raising money in support of Christie Lake Kids by participating in the 26th Annual Enbridge Canoe for Kids taking place on June 4th at Mooney's Bay. For the last in-person Canoe for Kids I was quite pregnant with Sam, and he's now almost 3! So needless to say, I'm excited to be getting back in the canoe.

Many of you know how close "Camp" is to my heart. Christie Lake Kids has spent 100 years (!!!!!) providing recreational opportunities and skill-building programs for low-income children and youth from Ottawa. After 13 years working at Camp, I'm very proud to have taught some of my old campers at the high school where I now work. I have never encountered a better program than Christie Lake for building confidence and a sense of self-worth! I am a firm believer in this organization and the importance of its work to help break the cycle of poverty for many Ottawa families.

Camp also just happens to be the greatest place in the world.

By making a donation, you will provide a camp experience to hundreds of youth this summer that otherwise would not have the opportunity to attend. Attending summer camp is an incredibly rewarding experience and these kids really need your support. Many past campers credit Christie Lake Kids with changing their lives.
