Financial Assistance
This year, Focus on Nature is excited to announce that, thanks to generous donors, the Hamilton Community Foundation Hamilton Spectator Summer Camp Fund, and The Waterloo Region Record - Lyle S. Hallman Foundation Kids to Camp Fund, we are able to offer free or discounted camp spots to families in need of financial assistance! This funding is on a first-come, first-served basis, and we have a limited number of free and discounted spots available, so make sure you apply before it’s too late.
Hurray for camp at the Guelph Arboretum!
“My name is Cale, and you just got a donation for $150 from my Mom. The donation is from me to thank you for photography camps, preserving nature, and having a place like city hall for photographers my age to show their work.
I made a calendar of my photography to sell. I sold 24 calendars. Some of the pictures were from when I was at the Focus On Nature camps. I wanted to give back to the program. .”
