Tim Hortons held its annual Camp Day on July 15th, raising funds to send kids to camp.
Tim Hortons Camp Day is an annual fundraising event where 100% of proceeds from all hot and iced coffee sales, plus select merchandise and donations, are given to the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps. The funds help send youth from underserved communities to multi-year, camp-based leadership programs.
In Southampton, the Rotary Club held a BBQ to help raise funds with hamburgers and hot dogs.Ā The Club raised more than $700 but a final amount raised for the Southampton Tim Hortons location is yet to be determined.

In Port Elgin, Saugeen Shores Police Services stepped in to lend a hand behind the counter to serve coffee with Deputy Chief, Jeremy Mighton, given his experience at last year’s Camp Day, training the new auxiliary officers.
According to Tim Hortons corporate site, “The Summer Program runs through June, July and August for youth aged 11-16. Campers attend eight day-camp sessions each year and the program becomes more challenging for campers as they come back each summer. Campers participate in traditional camp activities like canoeing, high ropes, archery, and overnight camping experiences, as well as intentional programs targeted to develop important life skills such as: independence, teamwork, leadership, and appreciation for diversity, as well as coping strategies to help them achieve success in young adulthood.”
