Summer Camp Program
Good
times, new friends, rewarding experiences and challenges and more are to be
discovered at residential summer camp in the Laurentians. For the past eight summers, over 2400 children
have been sponsored by The Generations
Foundation. Professionals from
the CLSC's, the schools and the parents see the positive results-happier children
who return to their homes and schools renewed and refreshed, eager for what
lies ahead. The residential camping
experience is unique in that it teaches independence and challenges campers
to go beyond their limits in a structured and supervised environment.
