Buy a coffee, help change a life. Today is Tim Hortons® annual Camp Day, supporting virtual Tim Hortons Foundation Camps™

Over the past four decades, the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps have helped nearly 300,000 youth in the United States and Canada from disadvantaged circumstances change their stories for the better. Today, Tim Hortons guests across the U.S. can join our restaurant owners in celebrating Camp Day — helping to support thousands of campers across the Tim Hortons community.

While this year’s annual Camp Day plans may be scaled back in restaurants to follow local health and safety requirements, restaurant owners across the country are still coming together to donate 100 percent of the proceeds from hot coffee and, new to Camp Day this year, iced coffee purchases, to the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

Tims Camps support kids throughout their youth between the ages of 12 to 16 – an important developmental time that helps shape who they will become as adults. Through the multi-year Summer Program, youth learn skills like leadership, resilience, and responsibility. They become empowered to believe in their own potential and change their stories for the better.

Earlier this spring, as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Tim Hortons Foundation Camps announced an all-new digital camp experience, Tims eCamp. Tims eCamp officially kicked off during the first week of July and will run for eight full weeks. Participating campers have been grouped into eCabins and are being supported and guided by trained eCounselors to build social, emotional and developmental skills.

“We’re excited that we are still able to celebrate our largest annual fundraiser this year by supporting youth who participate in our camp programs across North America,” says Duncan Fulton, Chief Corporate Officer of Tim Hortons and Chair of the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps. “Tims Camps rely heavily on our invested and committed restaurant owners and guests across the country to support the incredible programming and opportunities the Camps provide to youth.”

Whether they are supporting from home or on the go, here are ways Tim Hortons guests across the U.S. can participate in Camp Day this year:
