“Camp Makaway has given my kids an opportunity to explore, unite, and build lasting bonds and friendships with peers and counsellors that they would not have an opportunity to do otherwise without your help! The excitement in my kids eyes when I tell them they are sponsored and accepted to camp warms all of our hearts. We are ever so grateful for your kindness and generosity. Thank you so much!

“I’ve had 4 of my 5 children attend camp Makaway. It was such a blessing to have this opportunity. My children would not have been able to attend camp had this not been free to our family. My 9 year old suffers from anxiety. She started pulling her hair out to cope. She doesn’t like change or to be away from her family. I was very surprised that she stayed for the full week. I was even more surprised that she has to go back next year. Her camp leaders were very good to her and made her feel comfortable. I really like the way [CLW] put [daughter] and her friend together. The girls actually shared the same bunk bed. She still talks about how safe she felt there. Thank you sooo much, camp Makaway. We appreciate you”

“As a Community Liaison Worker at a school with Red Deer Public Schools a part of my role is to assist families who are experiencing financial difficulties in accessing funding allowing students to participate in extracurricular activities. Camp Makaway has not only provided fee assistance for families but has also made it possible for families to access. Providing kids who otherwise may not have the opportunity to participate. Students have had the opportunity to attend Camp Makaway, the excitement leading up to, the stories they share of their time at camp and the outcome has been beneficial for those that have had the opportunity to attend. The gratitude may not always be easily shown, the joy and light up on students faces when they share the camp experience is priceless. As a CLW I express my utmost gratitude for the financial support allowing students to continue to have experiences! THANK YOU!!”
