PROGRAM CRITERIA & APPLICATION INFORMATION

The Annual General Meeting was held on Saturday, MAY 4th., 2013 at Tim Horton Children's Camp in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia. The gathering was small (ten camps represented), but we approved new by-law changes, elected a new executive and directors, and enjoyed two great sessions-one on the use of "story" in marketing and promotion and the other a musical Aboriginal drumming and dancing extravaganza!

Directors for 2013-1014: Amelia Campbell (Camp Keir), Derek Mitchell (Adventure Camp Challenge), Matthew Sheriko (Camp Triumph), Melanie Dash (Camp Tidnish), Michael LeDuc (Big Cove YMCA Camp), Miranda Collins, Nora Melanson (Big Cove YMCA Camp), Patti Sampson (Camp Tidnish), Russell Prime (Johnston Christian Park), Ryan Underhill (Tim Hortons Children's Camp), and Stephane Richard (Canadian Diabetes Association camps).
