YES! This is the place to GIVE FINANCIALLY to KWASIND!
Camp Kwasind is CELEBRATING our 80th Anniversary.
As summer 2025 is fast approaching, we are looking forward to serving and investing into over 1200 campers as they grow in faith, have fun and build lasting friendships through the ministry of Camp Kwasind. It is our mission to help every camp grow in their leadership, character and confidence while building lasting friendships and making meaningful memories, all while moving one-step closer to Jesus. In order to make camp ACCESSIBLE and AFFORDABLE and HIGH QUALITY, our Camper fees alone don’t full cover our General Operating costs or special projects. In order to provide LIFE-CHANGING experiences for campers summer after summer, we rely on our generous donors to help with our General Operations (Property, Program, Staffing and Fixed Costs), our Campership Fund (financial assistance for families), our Staff Scholarship Fund (provide addition funding to support University Students) as well as special projects/wishlist items.
Camp Kwasind (a Ministry of Canadian Baptists of Ontario & Quebec) is incorporated as an Ontario not-for-profit and is registered with the Canada Revenue Agency as Registered Charity.
SPECIAL NOTE: You can make a bigger impact by donating securities and mutual funds! A donation of securities or mutual fund shares is the most efficient way to give charitably. With a donation of securities or mutual funds, a capital gains tax does not apply, allowing you to give more and avoid paying capital gains taxes. Please email matt@kwasind.com if you wish to donate securities.
