WHAT IS ROUGE GIVES?
Rouge Gives is a registered not-for-profit organization focused on making camp more accessible for families with financial need and for families with children living with special needs. We firmly believe that the power of camp is instrumental to a child’s development as they grow into confident and contributing members of society.
MISSION STATEMENT
Rouge Gives aims to make camp more accessible for more kids by removing financial and accessibility barriers.
WHY LAUNCH A NOT-FOR-PROFIT?
Every year camps in York Region have experienced an increasing number of requests for financial assistance and support for campers with exceptionalities. The global pandemic seems to have only increased this need.
