2025: A Historical Summer Season
By: Amici Children's Camp Charity
December 16, 2025
Summer 2025 will be remembered as one of the most remarkable chapters in Amici Children’s Camp Charity’s history.
Together, we achieved something extraordinary: we supported more campers, for more weeks, than ever before in Amici’s nearly 60 years. It was a truly historic season; one that filled cabins with laughter, strengthened friendships, fostered personal growth and a sense of belonging that extends far beyond the summer.
None of this would have been possible without Amici’s dedicated community. Your generosity opened doors for 352 children from low-income families to experience 740 weeks of adventure and development at 48 OCA-accredited overnight summer camps.
Amici campers canoed across glassy lakes, sang under the stars, tackled new challenges and built resilience and confidence that will serve them for a lifetime.
Gratitude From Amici’s Campers and Families
“I just want to say thank you, truly. Without your support, there is simply no way I could have made camp happen for my son this summer. I’m still struggling financially, just keeping food on the table is a win right now, so please know that your help made all the difference.”
- Camp Wenonah, Amici Parent
“Going into my 10th year, I hope to become a counsellor and give back to the place that has been the source of so many childhood memories. I am forever grateful to Amici for this nine year experience full of friendships and unforgettable memories.”
- Camp Can Aqua, Age 16
“Every year I come to camp I get more and more confident. This year I was so confident at camp, my confidence broke through the non-existent roof!”
- Camp Scugog, Age 12
“Another unforgettable moment was with [an Amici camper], who joined Camp Kirk for the very first time. After receiving her award for bravery, she smiled the entire way home, telling us again and again that she hadn’t realized how brave she was until camp helped her see it.”
- Camp Kirk, Director
