Thanks to a generous donation from a local Ottawa foundation, CCSAC was able to provide camps at no cost to 11 campers from the Centretown area.   Children spent their summer camp experience at one of two YMCA Camp in the region.  The children were identified by a member church or the YMCA; over half of the campers who attended camp due to this donation identified as newcomers to Canada. Two of the 11 campers attended the Y’s Counsellor in Training program at Camp Otonabee. This program prepares campers to become staff at Y Camps.  This initiative proved very successful with campers and their families extremely thankful for the donation and the opportunity to enjoy a summer camp experience.
