To celebrate our 10th anniversary this year, we have ordered some pretty cool camp clothing. Tye Dye is our color this year, to commemorate the rainbow of colors used in our different t-shirts over the past 10 years, so we got a great tye-dye hoodie to mark the occasion. You can also order it in gold if you prefer. Match it with our sweat pants and string bag and you are all set!! Click here to access our camp gear page and download the form to place your order. Your order will be delivered on your first day of camp. You will be the coolest looking camper on the block!!

A Word from our counselors:From time to time, we will feature one of our counselor who will share their insights on different subjects.
This month: Katelyn from Mississauga: From camper to counselor!
I have been a camper at Camp Tournesol from the very beginning when it first started. As a camper, every summer I would look forward to Camp Tournesol because I got to see my friends and the same counselors year after year. When I was too old to be a camper and had to choose to be a counselor in training (CIT) or not go to camp, I automatically chose to become a CIT. I had had such a good time as a camper that I did not want the fun to end. As a CIT I learned the ropes of what it was like to be a counselor; teaching different games, starting thousands of friendship bracelets for campers and most importantly showing the campers it is easy to have fun while speaking French. When it came time for me to be a counsellor I was all for it. My first year working as a counsellor was with people who had been my counsellor when I was a camper. They became my Camp Tournesol family. All the counsellors are extremely friendly and supportive, and when you or the campers, run into a problem they are there to help you out. I come back to work at Camp Tournesol year after year because I have developed friendships with all the other counsellors along with getting to see the same kids come back, see them grow and see their French improve. From camper to CIT to counsellor I have seen every aspect of the camp and I believe the best thing that Camp Tournesol offers to the campers is it shows them they can have fun speaking French. |
