ABOUT TIM HORTONS FOUNDATION CAMPS

The Tim Hortons Foundation Camps was established in 1974 in memory of the great hockey player, Tim Horton, to honour his love for children and his desire to make a difference in their lives. The Foundation is dedicated to fostering within our youth the quest for a brighter future. 

As a charitable youth development organization, the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps funds and delivers programs designed to address the cultural roots of poverty and change the way that young people from economically disadvantaged circumstances think about themselves and the opportunities that exist for them. We meet youth where they are, offering a multi-year leadership development program, tailor-made to the challenges they face and supporting their development of important life skills.

Through our Summer and School Programs, we invest in youth from Tim Hortons communities across North America. Building on the strengths that exist within them, youth develop into empowered and engaged community members, able to change their story.

We work with Tim Hortons restaurant owners, schools from priority neighbourhoods, youth serving agencies like Big Brothers, Big Sisters and Children’s Aid to select kids who would benefit from a Tims Camps experience.

Tims Camps has seven camp locations across Canada and the United States.  Camp experiences are completely free to campers and their families thanks to our passionate restaurant owners, team members, guests, corporate sponsors, and individual donors.

Multi-day, multi-visit & multi-impact - our programs offer a deep investment in youth, whether in-person at summer camp, in classrooms and at camp during the school year, or virtually through our digital programming. At camp, youth learn skills geared towards positive relationships, academic success, and community engagement, and in between sessions they complete a community service project. In 2020, we unveiled a digital eCamp experience to provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing space for youth during the pandemic.

Everything we do is measurable. We have successfully used camp experiences to develop social and emotional skills and learning and innovation skills. The impact is felt in classrooms, in positive relationships, in self identity, in career prospects. We survey campers and teachers to quantify the change and improve our program, ensuring we’re meeting the needs of the campers we serve.

Evidence from our multi-year, multi-visit camper and teacher impact survey data shows a positive impact on camper development, growth, and achievement in these important life skills and outcomes.

2021 marked 47 years of Tims Camps. In nearly half-a-century, more than 300,000 youth from every community where there is a Tim Hortons restaurant have gone through our programming.  Our participants may remember the canoe trips and campfires best—but we’re focused on the horizon, on ensuring youth have the skills and opportunities needed to thrive, pursue their education, find meaningful jobs, enrich their communities, and lead fulfilling lives.
