Summer Camps

Thanks to our loyal donors, Welcome Hall Mission subsidizes the majority of the cost of a week at camp for more than 200 disadvantaged people. The goal is to give this inner-city population the opportunity to experience a camp in a natural and peaceful environment during the summer season. Welcome Hall Mission partners with well-established and reputable camps located in the Upper Laurentians and and Lanaudière regions. A Mission employee accompanies each group to ensure it is a wonderful experience far from the city and their daily reality.
