Scholarship Update

Each fall Camp Kanata volunteers raise money to send kids to camp the following summer. These kids would otherwise be unable to afford a camp experience. Last fall sixteen volunteers plus staff raised approximately $95,000. Because of that, this summer about 41 day campers and 164 overnight campers are receiving a scholarship to come to Kanata. That is fantastic!

Currently there are about 20 kids on a Camp Kanata wait list for scholarship because all the money for 2009 has been awarded and the list will get longer.


How can you help send more scholarship kids to Kanata?

  • If you have already made a donation, thank you so much! Could you increase your gift? If not, we understand.

  • If you have not already made a donation, please consider doing so.

  • If you received a scholarship and you now find that you are better able to afford camp, please consider returning part of your scholarship.

  • Consider volunteering in this fall's scholarship campaign to raise money.

  • Tell everyone you can about Kanata and its scholarship campaign to raise awareness, recuit campaign volunteers, and increase giving to the scholarship campaign.

Thank you for helping Kanata help kids!
