The eight- year- old doesn’t leave for Camp Arnes until July. “ Last year, I wanted to go Camp Arnes, but I didn’t get to. I didn’t get the chance to go there. I just had a regular summer,” explained Sage, in Grade 3 at Mulvey School. But this year, Sage and her mother, Leona, contacted the Free Press Sunshine Fund, a donation- funded organization that sends kids to camp. “ I feel very excited for her. I could probably eventually afford to send her, but I’d have to save and save and save, cause I have other kids,” said Leona Fontaine, a single parent who works and goes to university. “ I filled out the application. I chose the camp. I put down my contribution, which was $ 50. That’s what I decided I was going to pay, and it happened a few weeks later.” Camp Arnes is an inter- denominational Christian camp on Lake Winnipeg. It offers campers everything from rock climbing to mountain biking to archery. “ There’s all kinds of games that they play and there’s an indoor pool just in case it rains. I’m just excited,” Sage said. Leona is no stranger to Camp Arnes. She spent time there as a child and recalls the wigwam and paintball games as her favourite activities. When she saw the Sunshine Fund advertising at Portage Place Shopping Centre, she signed her daughter up right away. “ They were so friendly. They’re very helpful. It was just amazing,” she said. Sage said she’s most excited about swimming, horseback riding and spending time with her cousin, who will also be there. “ My cousin told me everything about it, and that day, I was like, ‘ I’m packing today,’ ” Sage said. Sage became interested in camp two years ago. The music lover went on a camping trip with a community youth program after the death of her uncle. “ It was really difficult,” Leona said. Sage had some problems with bullying. “ One of my big concerns is her getting pushed around because she’s smaller. It’s just me. I’m a single parent, right? I want to make sure she’s safe. This is a huge thing for me to let her go away,” Leona said. But Sage said she’s not worried about the nights away from home. She’s excited about making new friends and spending time outside. If all goes well, Sage wants to become a camp counsellor “ like my cousin’s going to be.” If you would like to help the Free Press Sunshine Fund send a child to camp this summer, you can mail cheques to the Winnipeg Free Press Sunshine Fund, c/ o 302- 960 Portage Ave., Winnipeg, Man., R3G 0R4.
