Donate on Giving Tuesday for nature day camp
Local conservation foundation encourages donations for Giving Tuesday for sponsorships to make it possible for more young people to attend nature day camps
Giving Tuesday, ‘world’s largest generosity movement,’ is Tuesday, December 2, 2025; Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation encourages you to donate for sponsorships to make nature day camp possible for deserving young people who might not be able to attend otherwise
Giving Tuesday organizers call it “the world’s largest generosity movement.” GivingTuesday Canada is Tuesday, December 2, 2025. Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation (ABCF) is one of the local charities asking for your donation this GivingTuesday.
This year (2025), the conservation foundation encourages donors to donate towards sponsorships for summer nature day camps so more deserving young people, who might not be able to take part otherwise, can attend.
Charles Miner is ABCF Chair. “By donating on Giving Tuesday, you can provide a child the opportunity, at the nature camps provided by Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority, to have a fun, positive outdoor learning experience that they otherwise would not be able to have,” he said.
“We appreciate all donations,” he said. “Local conservation programs need support all year long but by donating during Giving Tuesday you can be part of this global movement and make a real difference in the lives of young people.”
Nature day camps provide youth the opportunity to learn about our natural environment while engaging in fun, physical activities, he said. Children attending day camps also make new friendships while learning about the importance of protecting our water, soil and natural habitats.
Amy Wilhelm is Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Huron (BBBSSH). She said the organization is pleased to partner with ABCF and Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) so more local young people can enjoy the nature day camp experience.
“Children and youth involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Huron have greatly enjoyed the summer nature day camps they have participated in over past years through the ABCA,” she said. “We extend our sincere thanks to the Conservation Foundation and its generous donors for choosing to support BBBSSH and helping to make it possible for even more local children and youth to experience this opportunity in the coming year.”

Giving Tuesday is a global movement, for giving and volunteering, that takes place after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Those are popular days to buy things. As those retail mega-days wind down, the Conservation Foundation asks you to consider a different kind of day – Giving Tuesday. It’s not a day to buy things but a day to give a gift to your community. To learn more visit the GivingTuesday Canada website.
