After having witnessed firsthand the wonderful sense of craftsmanship, the attention to detail, and the tremendous spirit of the building weekend, I have come away with a greater understanding and appreciation of what Volunteer Builders represents.

- Sam Ferrando, Camp Chairman, Columbus Boys' Camp

 

I get choked up whenever I think about what you and your merry band of volunteers were able to accomplish for the kids of Moorelands. You designed the cabins and prepared the plans. You went out and found the donations to make the work-weekend possible. You lugged a ton of food up north and organized all the building materials, including their delivery. You redesigned and decorated the camp, planned great socials and a silent auction, produced over 600 delicious meals, and still found time to build 3 camper cabins! And despite the weird weather, the Volunteer Builders remained positive, friendly and focused.

Words cannot describe what occurred here this past weekend. Three cabins in three days is amazing, but what I found more impressive was the amount of people that came to our camp to help. I am no stranger to volunteering, but never have I been on the other side where people were volunteering for my cause and let me tell you, the feeling was very powerful.

- Andy Barnard, Camp Director, Camp Presqu'ile

 

Although I can't claim I have visited all camps to compare, I am sure of one thing. I know that when we think of the organization, team work, support, kindness and good nature that the Volunteer Builders brought to this camp at the beginning of June this year and combine it with the stellar final product which I pass daily (in truth, probably 40 times daily), in my mind there's no better building around.

All of this is a result of the vision of a few dedicated folks who shared their passion for serving others with their friends. As a result, over 150 people gave their time, efforts and skills to make one of our dreams (envisioned over 5 years) a reality. I wish to thank Volunteer Builders for their generosity and all of their suppliers who donated or discounted the materials for these project builds.

- Derek Rumball, Director, Ontario Camp of the Deaf

When a goal and a dream become a reality, that is considered success. As a Director of a specialized camp I always strive to provide the best for every camper who attends and wants a great holiday. This year, my dreams have really come true because of each and every Volunteer Builder. Success was achieved through each and every one of you. Thank you so very, very much for everything you have done for each and every person who loves camp. Keep up the great work!

- Christine Murdoch, Director, Belwood Lodge and Camp
