Camper Stories and Testimonials

Cale, a camper in Guelph, loved his experience so much that he created a calendar of his photos and donated the proceeds to help other kids attend camp.

“Focus on Nature has been such an inspiring program for my child. They came home excited to share photos and stories every day!”
-Parent, 2024
“I want to extend a great big thank you to Free to Grow and the Focus on Nature camp! Dean had a wonderful time this past week, every day was a “good day” which has never been the case at any other camp or school week. He especially enjoyed hand feeding the chipmunks, even asking to stay late so he and another boy, Blake, could have extra time with the chipmunks. This was a truly a great week for Dean and I am ever so thankful to both the Children’s Foundation and the Focus on Nature organizers for granting Dean the week. ”
