Pass it on! teams Walk & Run in support of United Church camping
Congratulations to the camp teams that banned together on September 27 to raise funds! More than 40 people walked and ran in support of a cause they believe in - Toronto United Church Camping. Almost $14,000 was raised for the repair and rebuilding of our Toronto Conference camps’ buildings that are showing their age.
This proved to be a great opportunity to bring a team of youth and other members of your congregation, friends, and family together in support of the Toronto Conference United Church camps that have been an important part of our church’s ministry for more than 100 years. Check out some great photos below!
Congratulations to Karen Wallace of Ryde Lake Camp and Scott Cooper of Camp Simpresca who ran the marathon! We also had quite of few folks who completed the half-marathon - also a wonderful accomplishment! On behalf of all of the camps, and Toronto United Church Council, thank you to all who participated in support of Camp Simpresca Lake Scugog Camp, Sparrow Lake Camp, Camp Big Canoe, or Ryde Lake Camp.
For more information, or to get involved in next year's event, please contact Jennifer Wilson.
