Toronto United Church Council Camping
United Church camps have a history of more than 100 years. The Whitby Fresh Air Camp helped children get out of Toronto for a week in the country from the turn of the last century.
Today five camps affiliated with the United Church help 2,200 young people from an area bordered by Brampton and Scarborough in the south and Owen Sound and Parry Sound in the north, enjoy healthy outdoor activity and fellowship.
Each of the camps is undergoing extensive facility upgrades. Participants are invited to run and walk to help raise funds for the Pass it on! Campaign for capital construction at Camp Simpresca, Lake Scugog Camp, Sparrow Lake Camp and Camp Big Canoe and to raise funds for Ryde Lake Camp's Future Growth Fund.
All participants will receive a Pass it on! ball cap, and other souvenirs of the day. Watch our website for great prizes for champion fundraisers!
The nature of the Scotiabank marathon/walkathon is such that children registering must also have a parent or guardian register as a walker. The first 20 dual registrants (two or more from one family, including one adult) for the 5 Km walk will receive a free course registration for the adult accompanier. Contact the Pass it on! Campaign office at 905–771–5160 Ext. 23 to obtain your registration code to claim this discount.
