Camp Enterprise will be celebrating its 27th anniversary this year. The first Camp was held in 1995 with 10 Rotary Clubs supporting the project. It is the best joint
hands-on project that Rotary has sponsored with up to 100 high school students being selected to attend this 3-1/2 day event each year. There was a three-year lapse during Covid.

This year there are only four Rotary Clubs left to support the Camp so we are in dire need of volunteers. The Camp will run from May 15 to 18 at the University of Toronto Mississauga Campus on Mississauga Road.

We need DRIVERS who can pick up students at their schools AT 3:00 PM and deliver them to UTM on Wednesday, May 15 to arrive at UTM by 3:30-4:00 pm.

We need DRIVERS to pick students up at UTM at 1:00

pm on Saturday, May 18, and return them to their schools.

We need FACILITATORS who can monitor a group of 8 students during the afternoon on Thursday, May 16 OR Friday, May 17 while they prepare for their
interactive programs.

We need CHAPERONES who are willing to spend the night at UTM to monitor the students to ensure that they are in their respective rooms after curfew.

We can also use financial assistance from members who are able to donate $100 to have their BUSINESS CARDS printed in the Camp Enterprise booklet.

Larger donations will also be accepted with gratitude and will be noted in the booklet. This assistance will help offset the large increase in cost imposed by UTM this year.

If you are able to assist in any of these areas, which will be greatly appreciated, please contact Jan Gerrard at 1jangerrard@gmail.com or 416-526-1545.
