bring a kid to camp in Canada

Following the success of the inaugral Bring A Kid to Camp in Canada 2004 sponsored by Muskoka Woods Sports Resort and Sunquest Vacations, The Ireland Fund of Canada is proud to announce its continued funding of this important initiative taken on by four partnering youth programmes in both North andSouth Ireland.

The expanded programme to encompass all of Ireland will continue to focus on peace and reconciliation and leadership training as delivered by the four community organizations:
Northern Ireland Youth Forum (Fax No:+44 28 9023 8157)
National Youth Council of Ireland (Fax No: +353 1 478 3974)
Foróige (Fax No: +353 1 4501941)
National Youth Federation (Fax No: +353 1 8724183)

The programme is generously sponsored this year by Muskoka Woods Sports Resort and the kind individual and corporate donors of the IFOC.

The group of young people arrive in Toronto, Canada on August 9th for orientation and tours of Toronto then headnorth for a life changing wilderness camping experience then off to Muskoka Woods to play Canadian style while developing their youth leadership intiative for implementation back home --and no trip to Canada would be complete without a visit to Canada's Niagara Falls and of course The Ex!

The group returns to Ireland on August 22nd and will then continue to worktogether building their friendships across borders of nationhood, cultureand all other barriers -- we are proud to be associated with these youngleaders and wish them every success.
