Tim Horton Children's Foundation Programs
Tim Horton Children's Foundation camp programs are designed to give children the opportunity to experience many positive personal achievements while at camp. This allows them to grow, develop independence, and return home with new found strengths and the courage to achieve the goals they set for themselves. The Foundation has three core programs that serve close to 14,000 children each year.
This program generates more opportunities for children to benefit from a camp experience by partnering the Foundation's camp programs with youth organizations.
