.@Mejuri lived their values this week. In one day they refreshed camp spaces for our campers!
Their creativity and teamwork made a lasting mark, reminding us that true brilliance is found in people lifting one another up. #WhereMagicHappens #WhereMejuriHappens #FridayGratitude

#ThrowbackThursday to our Farmhouse, built in the 1880s! It’s the first thing visitors see & the hub for meals, library time, & year-round programs. Powered by geothermal energy, it’s where history meets sustainability at the Camp.

At 14, Leah’s principal said there was “no hope” for her. Today, she is a counsellor, advocate, and aunt who brings her nieces & nephews to Camp Scugog for healing and joy. She supports the Heroic HERons so more families can experience this too: https://t.co/okiFJvbW02

From camper to counsellor, Kathleen’s story shows the power of camp to heal across generations.
“Camp empowers women. It gives them a village.”
This year, moms are raising funds so more moms can share that strength. Support them or sign up for Quest today: https://t.co/wufDV6EIZA

#ThrowBackThursday Pina came to camp at age 7. She learned to swim, paddle & lead. That little girl grew into a counsellor, staff member & now a rising engineer who returns to inspire the next generation.
Camp doesn’t just create memories. It creates leaders:

“Camp changes women. Out in the world, single mothers are weighed down & isolated. At camp, you are not alone.”

“Single moms rarely get time for themselves. At camp, for the first time, I did.” – Bani

This fall, Moms are fundraising to give that same gift to others. Their goal is to raise TEN camperships so more moms can heal, grow, and thrive at Camp.

Dana Leahey, the Exec. Dir. of @CampScugog , shares how your generosity allows the camp to continue creating a fun and kind atmosphere for all their campers, as every one of them comes from a financially vulnerable background.
Thank you Camp Scugog!

Today is #BellLetsTalk day. The mental health of our community is paramount to us, and we know it’s been a challenging few years.

Check out the thread below for some mental health tips!

[CAMH @CAMHnews]

It’s important to help youth maintain their #mentalhealth, especially during times of uncertainty. The best way to do that is to have open, non-judgemental lines of communication. 🧵 1/3
