It’s hard to think of a better investment by donors than the impact I’ve witnessed at Moms & Kids Camp at Scotian Glen.
Mothers (most of them single parents) come from across the region and face enormous stresses of raising kids on their own. Many of them might not make it if it weren’t for this break. They bond with other women facing similar challenges—building their confidence and support network. Meanwhile, the social and behavioural skills of their kids are nurtured as they blossom at camp. The counselors and Scotian Glen staff are experts at making it all happen.
The impact of these experiences can be life-long, often transforming adults and children in a positive way forever.
During my brief visit, I could see stress melting away, the human spirit and precious family bond being strengthened. The video and photo album I’ve assembled for you are testimony to that.
