SUPPORT OUR MISSION
When you make a gift to Camp Kidston, you help enrich the lives of children and youth throughout our community. The growth, learning, friendships, and fun that campers experience cannot happen without your generosity.
Double the Summer Adventure: Your Gift Matched!
This year, you have an incredible opportunity to double your impact and make summer adventures at Camp Kidston a reality for Nova Scotia children. An incredible donor from the Kidston family has stepped forward with a very generous matching gift! This means every dollar you contribute over the next few weeks will be matched, dollar for dollar!
Donating is easy, simply follow the link below (small admin fee) OR send your electronic transfer (preferred) to admin@campkidston.com. Tax receipts are provided for donations of $50+ (please include your email address in the message section).
We need your help to reach this goal. Our aim is to maximize this matching gift by July 6th, the very first day of camp. By meeting this match, we'll ensure every camper enjoys a summer packed with exciting activities, healthy meals, and the guidance of caring staff, all within a secure and supportive setting.
Your contribution, no matter the size, will create twice the memories and provide twice the opportunity. Will you help us unlock this generous match and ensure a summer of adventure for every child?
