IN 2024 AMICI PARTNER CAMPS DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS SENT 311 CHILDREN AND YOUTH AGES 7 TO 17 TO 48 ONTARIO CAMPS FOR A TOTAL OF 657 WEEKS. AFTER YEARS OF SOCIAL ISOLATION INCREASED SCREEN TIME AND DISRUPTIONS TO REGULAR ACTIVITIES ACCESS TO OVERNIGHT SUMMER CAMP IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER FOR CHILDREN FROM ALL ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS. CAMP HELPS KIDS BUILD RESILIENCE OPTIMISM AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS WHILE FOSTERING HEALTHY SOCIAL CONNECTIONS SELF-ESTEEM AND A SENSE OF IDENTITY. THESE EXPERIENCES EQUIP CHILDREN WITH VALUABLE TOOLS TO COPE WITH STRESS AND NAVIGATE LIFE'S CHALLENGES. THROUGH AMICI'S SUPPORT EQUITY-DESERVING GROUPS GAIN ACCESS TO TRANSFORMATIVE CAMP EXPERIENCES THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE OUT OF REACH. BY BREAKING DOWN FINANCIAL BARRIERS AMICI ENSURES THAT MORE YOUNG PEOPLE CAN BENEFIT FROM THE LIFELONG IMPACT OF CAMP. AMICI IS GOVERNED BY A VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS WORK IS SUPPORTED BY DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS WHO CARRY OUT A RANGE OF ROLES FROM SUPPORTING AMICI'S CAMPERSHIP PROGRAM TO RAISING CRITICAL FUNDS AND AWARENESS TO DELIVER ON OUR MISSION.
