The funds raised through sponsorship go towards the hiring of camp facilities, equipment, materials for art and craft, woodwork, food, clothing, toiletries and gifts for the children. Your sponsorship makes an incredible difference in the life of a child.
- $500 will sponsor a child for the week.
- $100 will cover a day.
BIRTHDAY BOXES
Many children miss out on special occasions like a fun and Happy Birthday. During camp we have a special time called Everybody s Birthday . We decorate the Dining Room with streamers and balloons. As the children enter, there is an instant excitement. After our meal we start the celebrations by singing Happy Birthday to each child, a season at a time, and then enjoy some delicious birthday cake. We also give each child a birthday present, which we call a Birthday Box . Birthday Boxes are shoebox size coloured boxes jam packed full of new toys, games and other age appropriate gifts.
This is an important part of our week at camp. The Birthday Boxes not only give the children the joy and happiness of gifts, but also create happy memories that they can take away with them. Below are some items which are suitable for Birthday Boxes. These are simply guidelines, so please feel free to use your imagination! However, we do ask that toy guns, pocket knives, lollies, bubblegum or other food stuffs are not included in the boxes.
