COED CAMPERS - TADPOLE CAMP - JUNIOR CAMP - FAMILY CAMP - WOMEN'S EVENT - COUNSELLOR-IN-TRAINING PROGRAM
SUMMER 2021 UPDATE (MAY 25, 2021)
The Quin-Mo-Lac Board of Directors is continuing to suspend our program based on the guidance from Canadian Health Officials and our own risk mitigation standards. We will be excited to have you back at QML when everyone has their vaccination and it’s clearly safe to do so. Thankfully, we are beginning to see the other side of the pandemic and there are glorious days on Moira Lake ahead!
Thank you to everyone who has helped us survive so far during this complicated time. We are so appreciative to everyone who has donated to QML over the last year, and we want to be careful about asking for too much from our community. This year, we will not have an insurance claim or donations from cancelled registrations, but we are still benefiting from the wage subsidy and have received funding from the United Church comparable to a standard summer. Even still, we will need to find $140,000.00 to make ourselves whole as we look toward 2022 and the renovations camp will require to operate safely. We are pursuing grant opportunities as much as possible, and dreaming up fun, new ways to raise funds for the camp. We have a few compulsory projects on our plate (Ministry of Environment required septic upgrades, new pool safety cover, waterfront safety fence and upgrading our First Aid Station to reflect changing health standards) so anyone who would like to contribute is welcome to reach out to camp and learn more about how you can support these capital requirements.
If you would like to contribute to QML, we are hoping you will consider signing up for a monthly giving program which will setup automatic, monthly withdrawals. Most people contribute $10-$50/month, and this can be done by contacting the camp and doing this through the United Church or through our canadahelps.ca page.
Many of you have asked how you can donate to QML. Donations can be made by cheque, e-Transfer, and credit card! Now, you can even set up monthly credit card donations through our canadahelps.ca page or by signing up for the United Church’s PAR program.
Contact the camp if you want to learn more about making donations: kids@campqml.org
To keep our leaders up-to-date, we will be offering a 10-week Online QML Leadership MasterClass for those 15/16 year olds who would have been eligible for training in 2020/21. There will be a small cost to this program to cover supplies, and a weekly 1-hour session to discuss the topics. Please contact us if you know of a young leader who is excited to become a counsellor and would benefit from this program!
We wish things were shaping up differently for this summer, but we never want to risk the health of our campers, their families and our local communities. Help us honour QML’s legacy of outstanding leadership by putting your efforts towards being a part of the solution. We will update you all if there is a turn of events this summer and rental opportunities become possible.
