Surely, you must be close to having your Christmas shopping done. And you're probably hoping to put your feet up and relax. MCA knows that this time of year can be hectic and stressful (stresstic, if you will). We are still accepting gifts to the Sunshine Fund. Your kindness and generosity (kinerosity, if you will) can help send a deserving child to one of MCA's accredited summer camps. It costs, on average, $400 to get a child to a week of camp. Every little bit helps.

#campoftheweek Camps with Meaning Camps with Meaning is a ministry of Mennonite Church Manitoba, and provides week-long summer camp programming for campers from grade 1-12 at two sites. Koinonia is located on Max Lake in the beautiful Turtle Mountain Provincial Park, and offers canoeing, swimming, archery, and a climbing wall and zipline. ... Assiniboia is tucked into a bend in the Assiniboine River just west of Winnipeg, and offers kayaking, swimming, archery, a farm and garden, and a high ropes course with zipline. We offer both day and overnight programs, as well as canoe out-trips and farm camps. Worship and Bible exploration as well as Nature programming are integral to every week, as are campouts in Assiniboia’s forest and around the lake at Koinonia. #sendingkidstocamp #mbcamping #ThanksToCamp #sunshinefund #campoftheweek
