Tim Hortons Camp Day returns on July 17 with a chance for coffee lovers to support life-changing experiences for underserved youth.

On that day, 100% of proceeds from all hot and iced coffee purchases (excluding taxes) at Tim Hortons restaurants in the United States and Canada will benefit Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

The foundation provides multi-year development programs for youth facing challenges. Over 320,000 young people have participated since the program's inception 50 years ago.

"Everyone at Tim Hortons is incredibly proud of the impact of our foundation, and how Tims guests have rallied with us every Camp Day to empower youth who deserve our support," Katerina Glyptis, regional president for Tim Hortons U.S., said in the press release "Last Camp Day, we raised an incredible $900,000 in a single day at Tim Hortons restaurants in the United States. And since 1991, Tim Hortons restaurant owners and guests have collectively raised over $180 million through Camp Day across North America. The impact from every Camp Day is so inspiring and we can't thank Tims guests enough for helping us support the important work of Tim Hortons Foundation Camps."

Opportunities to attend Tims Camps are open year-round, with referrals coming from schools, community organizations, and Tim Hortons restaurant owners. Camp activities focus on social-emotional learning, relationship skills, and community connections.

"Without camp I would never have found my love of performing, but thanks to that last campfire in Kentahten I found my passion. I am no longer scared to meet new people, or talk in front of crowds. Camp made me confident in my abilities and allowed me to feel more comfortable in trying new things," said Kayla K., a Tims Camps alumna and member of the Tims Camps Youth Advisory Council. "Camp made me confident in my abilities."

Tim Hortons Foundation Camps offer a variety of ways to support their mission on Camp Day:

• Purchasing hot or iced coffee.
• Ordering a Tim Hortons Take 12 to share.
• Buying a Camp Day bracelet or donation badge.
• Rounding up your order total on the Tim Hortons app.

Tim Hortons has more than 5,700 systemwide restaurants located in Canada, the United States and around the world.
