The BB4CK Summer Camp Program Is Back!
Our Summer Camp Program is back for its 4th year, and we’re excited to partner with 30 organizations—from summer schools to day camps—so Calgary’s kids continue getting the nutritious lunches they need all season long.
From June 30 to August 29, our Central Kitchen is bustling every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday with amazing volunteers preparing and delivering full lunches (sandwiches, fruit, veggies, snacks, and dairy). We’re also supporting camps by providing funding and supporting with snacks, including items such as veggies, fruit, yogurt or cheese, baked goods (energy balls or scones), and prepackaged snacks (granola bars or Goldfish), for their food programs.
“Food fuels play, learning, and friendship. When kids can grab a healthy lunch or snack, they have the energy to run, explore, and connect—and that’s exactly the summer every child deserves. We’re so excited to make it happen again this year!” — Stephanie, BB4CK Executive Director
What We Learned Last Summer 🔆
Last summer, we provided 34,000+ lunches and snacks to camps across Calgary.
Survey feedback told us that BB4CK lunches:
-
boosted kid morale and overall mood,
-
were consistently described as tasty and filling, and
-
gave counsellors peace of mind, knowing kids stayed energized for games and social time all day.
