Tim Hortons Foundation Camps
Tim Hortons Foundation Camps represents Tim Hortons largest
community investment. Established in 1974 in honour of Tim
Horton's love for children, its signature programs are
intentionally designed to help youth aged 12-16 from
low-income homes discover the strengths existing within
themselves.
Over the past four decades, the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps
have supported more than 295,000 youth from disadvantaged
circumstances. Through a multi-year, camp-based program,
participants learn skills like leadership, resilience, and
responsibility, empowering them to believe in their own
potential and change their stories
for the better. Attending Tim Hortons Foundation Camps comes
at absolutely no cost to youth or their families.
With seven camps in North America that run year-round School
and Summer Programs, youth are supported to thrive when they
return home, to excel in post-secondary education, to
succeed at work and to contribute positively to their
communities. The impact of these programs is sustained and
deepened through repeated experiences; campers are invited
to return annually through their influential early teen
years, where they realize the positive compounding effects
of participating over time.
Tim Hortons restaurant owners and TDL Group Corp. are proud
supporters of Tim Hortons Foundation Camps. Our largest
fundraising initiative is Camp Day, a 24-hour period when
restaurant owners donate the proceeds of all coffee sales
and public donations to the Foundation. During Camp Day in
2020, owners and guests raised nearly 11 million CAD. In
addition, funding for the Foundation comes from donations
made by many valued suppliers, individual donors, and public
donations collected year-round in coin boxes in each Tim
Hortons restaurant.
