More information

 

Since 1990, Camp Cucumber has provided a week-long summer camp in Ontario’s cottage country, to struggling single mothers on social assistance and their children aged 5-13. The idea for Camp Cucumber emerged as a result of a very successful Christmas dinner, supported by the Red Cross in the Jane-Finch Community, back in 1990. For many of the families in this community, especially those with single mothers struggling to make ends meet, the camp experience was simply too expensive. Our idea was to provide an opportunity for single mothers and their children to leave their everyday lives behind and enjoy a week together, nestled in the Canadian north.
