Thank you WindsorEssex Community Foundation
Bryerswood Youth Camp Optimist Club is thrilled to announce an investment from the WindsorEssex Community Foundation (WECF) to support the construction of a Legacy Cabin, in honour of the
Foundation’s 40th Anniversary. A 40th Anniversary Community Legacy Investment in the amount of $25,000 will allow for the construction of a
brand new, 6-bunk cabin at Bryerswood Youth Camp.
Bryerswood Youth Camp is currently in the process of making facility upgrades with the goal of maintaining year-round access for young people in the community. This rustic but comfortable new cabin will provide much needed accommodations, allowing more young visitors to enjoy the camp.
The investment is one of several 40th Anniversary Community Legacy Projects being supported by the WECF as they celebrate 40 years of Community Supporting Community in 2023. The WECF is marking this milestone year throughout the community by creating lasting legacies, working with local partners to create projects that will invest in lasting change in Windsor and Essex County, value a sense of place and culture, and honour both local history and the future as it unfolds. “The WindsorEssex Community Foundation is committed to supporting young people in our community, and Bryerswood Youth Camp provides a unique environment in which our youth can learn, grow and thrive,” adds Lisa Kolody, Executive
Director of the WindsorEssex Community Foundation. “We are thrilled to be celebrating our 40th anniversary with projects
like this one, that help foster a sense of community throughout Windsor & Essex County, today and forever.”
Bryerswood Youth Camp is currently fundraising for additional improvements to the camp, with the goal of improving accessibility through upgrades to the facilities and providing an enjoyable camp experience for youth in our community.
Donations to the Support the Camp campaign will be put towards camp operations and making the camp welcoming for all campers.
