Fundraising
September Camp Auction
Every Labour Day weekend, the Bursary Fund Auction is held at Camp Ahmek on Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park. On the main beach in front of the Ahmek Dining Hall, a wide array of items is auctioned with all proceeds going to the bursary.
About the auction
Highly sought-after items have included everything from weekend retreats at wilderness outposts to handknit sweaters, artwork, theatrical and sporting event tickets, and the legendary “Best Seats in the House.” The auction is our largest annual event and has raised $40,000 in a single year.
A special thanks to the Taylor Statten Camps for hosting this event each year in support of the bursary.
Donate an item
Item donations are what make the auction possible. Unique experiences, services, and goods tend to generate the most excitement — but all contributions are welcome and go directly to bursaries.
If you have something to donate or want to discuss what works well, get in touch and we’ll take it from there.
