Thank you for your support!
Thank you for supporting Camp Day 2023!
Since 1974, we have worked with more than 315,000 young people, using camp experiences to develop social and emotional skills and learning and innovation skills. Our campers may remember the canoe trips and campfires best—but with your support, we’re focused on the horizon, on ensuring youth have the skills and opportunities needed to thrive, pursue their education, find meaningful jobs, enrich their communities, and lead fulfilling lives.

Long-term Impact
We challenge young people. We help them see their best self. And we work with them as they carve a path towards the future they want.
We do that in schools, in communities, and at 7 camps across North America. We meet underserved youth where they are offering a multi-year leadership development program tailored to the challenges they face and delivered at no cost to them or their families.
In Spring 2022, to understand our long-term impact, we conducted one of the largest camper alumni surveys in the history of the camping industry, reaching out to all summer program participants who attended Tims Camps between 2003 to 2021.
Here’s what we learned about our long-term impact.

Youth don’t have the opportunity to learn these skills elsewhere. Tims Camps was identified as the primary setting where youth learned key skills such as perseverance, leadership, and appreciation for diversity.
