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 disadvantaged circumstances discover the strengths existing within themselves.
Over the past four decades, the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps have supported more than 300,000 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 The 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, specially designed Camp Day bracelets and public donations to the Foundation.

Tims Camps will support the development of specific programming and the opportunity to host Justice Fund Toronto youth at the Tim Horton Onondaga Farms in St. George, Ontario.
