Ness Lake Bible Camp holding fundraiser helping send kids to camp

Ness Lake Bible Camp will be collecting recyclables later this month for a good cause.

The Cans for Kids fundraiser has been going on for over 20 years, raising tens of thousands of dollars giving kids the opportunity to attend camp.

“We know that camp has costs. A week of camp can be anywhere from $300 to $500, and especially with everything going on economically right now, that’s a lot to ask of families.” said Dave Horton, Executive Director.

$5,862 was raised in 2024 through Cans for Kids, Polar Bear Dip, and other donors, helping nearly 200 kids.

The Nechako Bottle Depot will be taking in the recyclables, and will be matching funds raised during the event.

Horton said anyone that brings in one large garbage bag or three shopping bags of recyclables will receive an entry to win a free camp session.

The fundraiser will be on Saturday, May 24th, at the Nechako Bottle Depot from 9am to 4pm.

More information about Cans for Kids can be found on Ness Lake Bible Camp’s website here.
