Sudbury Manitoulin Children's Foundation The "Send-A-Kid To Camp" Program was established in 1984 to provide disadvantaged children aged 5-14 with the opportunity to attend summer camp.

The Sudbury Manitoulin Children’s Foundation is a registered charitable organization that provides opportunities to underprivileged youth in the Sudbury, Manitoulin and surrounding districts. Children are referred to our program by various local social agencies that feel the child would benefit from this type of experience. Some parents cannot afford the luxury of sending their child to camp, and some children live in violent or abusive households. With this program, children who otherwise don't have the opportunity to enjoy such an experience, get to live out the fun, freedom and excitement that summer camp brings. "Send-A-Kid To Camp" allows these kids to just be kids!

πŸ•ŠοΈ Small acts can make a big difference.

Today is the International Day of Peace β€” a reminder of the importance of kindness, understanding, respect and looking out for one another.

Peace can start with something as simple as:

πŸ’™ Including someone
🀝 Helping a friend
😊 Choosing kindness
πŸ‘‚ Listening to someone
🌎 Celebrating our differences

Let's make our communities a little kinder, one small action at a time.

⭐ PLAY Fun Fact!

Did you know?

An opportunity to participate in one activity can help children build skills and confidence that carry into other parts of their lives.

The PLAY Program helps give children the opportunity to participate in activities and experiences that can help them build confidence, friendships and new skills.

And sometimes, a little bit of PLAY can make a BIG difference. πŸ’™

Why does PLAY matter? πŸ’™

Because play is about so much more than having fun.

Through activities and recreation, children have opportunities to:

⭐ Build confidence
🀝 Make new friends
πŸ† Develop teamwork skills
🎨 Explore their interests
πŸ’ͺ Learn perseverance
πŸ’™ Feel a sense of belonging

Every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy of participating in something they love.

That's why PLAY matters.

And with our Fall PLAY session beginning in October, we're looking forward to helping even more local children get involved! πŸ‚
