Senior Manager, Fundraising

About the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps

Celebrating their fiftieth anniversary in 2024, the Tim Hortons® Foundation Camps (Tims Camps) has worked with more than 320,000 young people, using camp experiences to develop important life skills.

The Tims Camps mission is to help youth from underserved communities achieve their full potential. Tims Camps understands that young people are problem solvers, but they need opportunity. Too often, young people’s race, ethnicity, economic status, or postal code determines which doors are open to them and which remain closed.

To help young people develop the resilience, strength, and social-emotional skills they need to succeed, Tims Camps offers summer camps, school programs, and partnership programs with community groups—all at no cost to participants. These camp experiences are made possible annually thanks to the generosity of Tim Hortons restaurant owners, guests (Tim Hortons customers), and corporate partnerships, including Tim Hortons’ parent company, Restaurant Brands International (RBI).
