2011

In 2011, girls’ handball was added to the mix as another sport and the Intercamp Classic grew to a total of 50 teams (25 softball and 25 handball). Rain caused the event to be postponed but it did not stop the event from happening. On the rescheduled date of Monday, May 23rd, 2011, the second annual Intercamp Classic was enjoyed by participants, volunteers and attendees.

Half of the net proceeds from the 2011 event were donated to the Uganda Spinal Surgery Mission. The other half were given to a charity called Kids in Camp (KIC), a Toronto-based charity with the vision that no child be prevented from having a summer camp experience. The president of Kids in Camp at the time was Elaine Cole, the former owner and director of the camp where Josh and Noah had grown up. KIC was a great fit for the Intercamp Classic as it supports sending underprivileged kids to any Ontario Camps Association accredited camp. Therefore, participants and fundraisers could know that their money would be helping children potentially attend the very camps that they had attended themselves.

In total, $90,000 was raised through the second annual Intercamp Classic. With no matching donor, all proceeds came through participant fundraising and corporate sponsorships.

The amount was matched by the foundation of former UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair, for a total of $76,000. It was clear from the beginning that the Intercamp Classic would become a much anticipated annual event.
