Sharing the Wonder of Camp

We wanted to take a moment to share how we continue to promote the incredible work happening at camps across Manitoba.

​

This week, MCA participated in a radio interview to discuss the impact of camping and the importance of providing meaningful outdoor experiences for children and youth. We were pleased to receive positive feedback from the station manager, who noted how engaging and informative the conversation was and how effectively our team communicated the value of camp experiences.

​​

Media opportunities like these allow us to amplify the stories of our member camps and highlight the important role camps play in building confidence, fostering friendships, developing leadership skills, and creating lifelong memories. Every interview, presentation, and public engagement helps raise awareness of the positive impact that camps have on individuals, families, and communities throughout Manitoba.

​

These opportunities are only possible because of the outstanding work taking place at your camps every day. Thank you for the experiences you provide and for helping us share the story of camping with audiences across the province.

​​

We look forward to continuing to champion and promote the camping community throughout the summer season.

Manitoba Camping Association acknowledges that we in Manitoba live, work and play on Treaty 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 Territories and on the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene Peoples and the homeland of the Metis Nation.​ We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories as they are an important reminder of the obligations to and shared responsibilities with Indigenous people. We are dedicated to having conversations from a place of learning and collaboration with the Indigenous community, as through education, we move forward on our journey of reconciliation. We acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and are committed to improving our relationships with the Indigenous community. Further, we believe that camps can contribute to healing and reconciliation.
