Help Send East End Kids on Amazing Summer Adventures!
Our annual Summer Fundraiser to help send children from low-income households on amazing adventures at our summer Riverdale Adventure Camp (RAC) has officially launched!
Help us reach our base target of $12,000 to send kids from Riverdale, Riverside, and Leslieville to a fun, affordable, and inclusive summer camp! Should we surpass this target, we aim to increase the number of subsidized spots in our Summer RAC and our After School Program (ASP)!
At the Ralph Thornton Community Centre’s summer RAC , our mission is to ensure that every child who walks through our doors has access to a transformative summer experience, regardless of their financial circumstances. We provide a fun and inclusive space where children from diverse backgrounds can learn, grow, and be themselves. With dedicated streams and spots that support the inclusion of children from low-income, newcomer, and 2SLGBTQIA+ families, a low-barrier registration process, and nominal fee, we make affordable and accessible childcare a reality for families from diverse backgrounds in our community.

Help Make a Difference!
Your support is crucial in making affordable and accessible summer childcare a reality for all families in our community. By becoming an essential supporter of RTCC’s summer camp, you can help create an incredible summer filled with joy, learning, friendship, and adventure for all our campers.
We aim to raise a base target of $12,000 to help fund the low-income stream of our summer camp. Although our camp is completely free for children from low-income households, the actual weekly cost of running it is $300 per child! Your donation helps bridge this gap, ensuring that kids from low-income households get the opportunity to experience the joy and adventure that summer camp provides!
Here’s an example of how your support helps:
- $60 provides one day of camp fun for a child from a low-income household.*
- $300 provides one full week of camp for a child from a low-income household.*
- $1,200 provides a month of camp for a child from a low-income household.*
*If you make a gift of $60 or more, you’re also eligible to pick up a pair of RTCC branded purple sunglasses at reception until the end of June!
Your contribution, no matter the amount, has a significant impact. With your help, we can continue to offer a safe, fun, and inclusive environment where every child can thrive!
