Local summer camp “Camp Tamarack” has received its largest donation to date from Canadian Natural Resources.
Camp officials describe feeling “excited and grateful” to receive the $20,000 cheque from CNR and say the donation will support the camp’s efforts to ensure long-term sustainability and accessibility.
CNR has been a long-time supporter of Camp Tamarack, handling camp maintenance and building new amenities; however, the Camp says this sizeable donation came as a welcome surprise.
“It is so impressive to have them take a leadership position in addressing our fundraising needs also,” officials say.
Camp Tamarack has been conducting a significant fundraising campaign for a while now, but with the CNR donation, the camp says they will achieve their primary goal of securing the long-term sustainability of Camp Tamarack while keeping the camp accessible for youth of all backgrounds.
The donation will be utilized to enhance the facility’s eight-week summer camp program, support outdoor education for youth, and provide a wilderness environment for clubs and youth to use throughout the year.
