Sponsorships and charitable donations to the Media Arts Community Centre for Film camp for Kids and Youth help to provide spaces for low-income children and youth referred to us by local charities, faith groups and healthcare centres. We sometimes use donations for essential camp supplies such as water, snacks, and art materials but usually to create spaces for low-income children and teens who can truly benefit from our program.
When we receive requests directly from families, we ask them to have a charity or faith group send us a letter on their behalf since we have no way to confirm need or income level. A letter is sent to us explaining why the family needs support, which really helps us decide if the youth a free or partial pay (modest fee) participant.
The camp environment fosters a sense of belonging and support, which can alleviate feelings of isolation and anxiety for many. Additionally, the structured activities and mentorship from experienced instructors help children and youth develop resilience and coping strategies, contributing positively to their overall mental well-being.
Many youth meet like-minded friends from all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds at camp, whom they may not have connected with at school or from a different school. In just one summer their will bond and plan to sign up together the next summer. For many it’s a life-changing experience.
