What is Amici?
Amici is a registered charity that sends boys and girls from low-income families to overnight summer camps across Ontario. Established in 1966 by staff members at Kilcoo Camp, Amici has since provided children with over 2,500 unforgettable summer experiences. Today, Amici supporters include campers, staff members, alumni and parents from many camps across Ontario, all linked by a common belief that camp has the power to unlock one's full potential.

Will I be seated at a table?

What is the entertainment?
Entertainment is sure to surprise guests, with a lineup of treasured Canadian talent provided by Jeffery Latimer Entertainment.
Will there be an auction?
Amici is pleased to announce former Dragon, Brett Wilson, and Canadian comedian, Caroline Rhea, will join us as tomorrow night's live auctioneers! What will they be auctioning off you ask?
