TORONTO, July 13, 2022 /CNW/ - Today, Tim Hortons is celebrating its 31st annual Camp Day! Across Canada and the United States, 100 per cent of the proceeds from all hot coffee and iced coffee sales are being donated to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps to support sending youth from underserved communities to Tims Camps.
Camp Day has raised over $225 million in its history and has helped Tim Hortons Foundation Camps support more than 300,000 youth between the ages of 12 to 16 through a multi-year camp-based program. With a rigorous strength-based learning model designed specifically for the unique needs of the youth Tims Camps serve, campers are equipped with skills like leadership, resilience, and responsibility, empowering them to open doors to their future.
"Camp has impacted me in more ways than one," says Sunita, who experienced five years of Tims Camps before becoming a Tims Camps counsellor. "Tims Camps has made me a more confident and courageous person and continues to help me grow each summer I return. You're never not learning or developing as an individual, so I wouldn't be the person I am today, or who I will become, without the support of everyone at Tims Camps."
Many of the young people who attend Tims Camps have never had the opportunity to experience camp or travel outside their city or town, notes Graham Oliver, a Tim Hortons restaurant owner and President of Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.
"Our multi-day, overnight camp experiences are uniquely powerful in quickly building critical skills in youth, and strengthening social ties and community connections that can help youth better cope with challenging circumstances," says Oliver. "We challenge young people. We help them see their best self. And we work with them as they carve a path towards the future they want."
Camp Day has grown to become one of the most important and cherished days on the Tim Hortons calendar, with all restaurant owners, team members and corporate staff dedicated to making each year's campaign more impactful than the last.
"The profound impact Camp Day has had in raising over $225 million in its history and supporting over 300,000 youth is a testament to the dedication and generosity of Tims restaurant owners and team members and the incredible support from Tims guests year after year," said Axel Schwan, President of Tim Hortons. "I'm looking forward to another successful Camp Day this year and want to thank everyone involved from coast to coast to coast for helping to change the lives of youth in our communities."
