Mission Statement
Amici is a registered charity that sends children facing financial and social barriers to overnight summer camps in Ontario. We offer our campers the opportunity to return to camp every summer, for as many years as they are eligible - making summer camp a stable touchstone in their lives.
About This Cause
It all started in 1966, when a few teenage counsellors saved enough money to pay for one young boy to have his first experience at camp. Over time, they began to support a few more camping experiences each year. And, as more donors and believers in the power of camp came on board, Amici and its program grew. Today, Amici provides returning summer camp experiences to youth between the ages of 7-17 facing financial and social barriers. Working with 48 Ontario Camping Association-accredited partner camps, Amici provides these children the chance to discover their potential in the Canadian wilderness through the leadership and skill-building environment of camp. Amici has helped to fund thousands of camping experiences in the past 55 years. Amici Children's Camp Charity's mission is to foster personal growth and lifelong skills in children with financial need through multi-year access to the unique environment of camp. Our mission is strongly guided by our vision that all children have the right to discover their full potential, and camp is one very special way to unlock one's potential. Amici believes that camp builds leaders, but leadership development takes time. Which is why, thanks to our donors and 48 partner camps, we are committed to providing our campers access to their summer camp every year they are of eligible age; making camp a stable touchstone in their life, and allowing kids to nurture their sense of self-worth on their journey towards discovering their full potential. “Camp has become an important part of who I am and has allowed me to learn more about myself. Each year at camp keeps getting better, with more friendships made, more self development and more of a sense of belonging. Camp has evolved from being a summer experience, to my second home.” -Amici Camper,15.
