Sponsor a camper

Give monthly

Four levels, from $35 a month. Start, pause or cancel whenever you like.

Monthly first

The Blue Line Club

Monthly is the one that changes the plan

A one-off gift pays for a child. A monthly gift lets us book ice twelve months ahead, tell a family in March that there is a spot in August, and stop guessing. Ninety dollars a month is $1,080 a year: one child's place at camp, every year, for as long as you keep it going.

Or give once

Three amounts, and exactly what each buys

No abstractions. Each of these is a real thing that a real child carries out of an arena.

One gear set

A helmet, skates, a stick, gloves, pads, pants and a jersey. One child carries all of it home on the last day and none of it comes back.

$1,060

One child, one camp

A full camp of ice, professional coaching, dryland, lunch every day, and the gear. Everything one child needs, start to finish.

Two children

Two children who did not know each other on the first day and who arrive on the last day looking for each other.

The next camp

Christmas Camp 2026

Every gift made now goes toward Christmas Camp 2026.

The ask, in plain numbers

The ask, in plain numbers

$1,060 covers one child: $750 for the set of equipment they keep, and the rest for their share of the ice, lunch, insurance and admin. Coaching is donated. A gift of $750 covers the equipment on its own. Any amount helps and nothing is too small.

The Blue Line Club

Open Ice Initiative Inc. is an incorporated not-for-profit organization in Ontario, governed by a volunteer board of directors and accountable for every dollar it receives.

Because corporate support delivers logo placement, named program rights and media association, it can typically be recorded as a marketing or advertising expense. Please confirm the treatment with your finance team. This is not tax advice.
