WHAT WE DO

The Algonquin Campership Fund helps make summer camp in Algonquin Park, Ontario, accessible to kids and young adults. Through "camperships", we provide opportunities for individuals and groups to experience the magic of pristine wilderness and offer enrichment scholarships for young adults to grow through professional development and certifications.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Our campership fund is powered by generous individuals—people like you—who believe in the transformative power of summer camp. Most of our donations come from small to mid-range gifts, proving that every contribution, no matter the size, makes a real impact. When many come together to give, we can open the door for more kids to experience the adventure, friendship, and personal growth that camp provides. Join our community of supporters and help make camp possible for the next generation!

All U.S. donations are tax deductible.
