Thank You 2023 Donors!

2023 DONORS - WE APPRECIATE YOU!

To all the organizations and individuals who donated to Camp Fircom in 2023,

you truly are difference makers!

2023 was an amazing year on our steady yet winding path to financial recovery, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support we received from all our donors. Funds we received went towards our operating costs and unexpected expenses, but also allowed us to invest in some important items that make our site more enjoyable and comfortable for all our guests. Those that donated towards our Campership Fund made it possible for us to live our mission and values by hosting so many children and families in our various summer camp programs that otherwise would never have had the financial means to do so. Again and again we hear how a child’s life that is normally spent on busy inner city streets has forever been transformed because they had a week to run around our beautiful property, free and safe, and enjoy the magic of Camp Fircom.

One of the highlights for our adult guests was the purchase of new, comfortable mattresses for all 35 beds in our Craigcroft accommodation! The comfort of our guests is important to us, so we were thrilled to be able to make this happen.

One more thing…. although you will see (below) the names of organizations and individuals, there are many donors that chose not to be named.

Thank you Anonymous Donors - you know who you are!

We also thank those that donated to our Campership Fund via our previous CampBrain registration portal. We don’t have access to those names anymore, but you truly made a difference for sooo many campers!

As a result of all your kindness, support and generosity, we were able to put smiles on a LOT of faces this summer!

With Gratitude,

Terra McKenzie
