Story

Ok..... so now we have lost our tent and pillows... We're started to rethink this whole 'roughing' it situation 🤔
We think we have a solution however 💡! You don't really want to see us 'Roughin' it, do you? Of course you don't! 😉
Taking a look ahead at the forecast.. it's showing 10 degrees but feels like 9 with a chance of Showers!! 🌧
We have set new goals. PLEASE HELP US OUT! We're trying to get our comforts back to make the night a little more comfortable.
ONLY 8 DAYS LEFT until we camp out!
Scanlon Creek is a conservation park located in Bradford West Gwillimbury. Growing up, we remember visiting on class trips, or with our families, and it holds a special place to us. So, we're 'Roughin' it for a Reason' because nature is important to us! Why are we always locking ourselves inside and in front of our screens instead of outside enjoying nature?? The new Nature Centre will provide a space for the whole community to learn and experience nature first hand.
We're planning to camp in the cold!.... .. unless of course, you donate to this amazing cause and add some comforts to make us a little more comfortable! We have set NEW goals to reach which will help add some of our comforts...
If we reach $5000... we'll get our pillows back! 😍 (We would be SO grateful!... can't believe we lost this one...)
If we reach $5250... we'll get our tent back! (Remember, chance of showers *hint hint* 😉)
If we reach $5500... we'll get our sleeping bags back! (who doesn't enjoy sleeping in comfort???)
If we reach $5750... we'll get our flashlights back!
If we reach $6000... we'll get our favourite stuffed toy back! If we reach $10,000... we'll get an RV! (We're kind of doubtful on this one, so the goal was set pretty high, but you never know!)
This will be a fun time and support an amazing project!
Thank you in advance for helping us raise funds for this amazing cause! We appreciate your support for the new Nature Centre and even more so by helping us with some comforts while camping! 😉
