What you need when you apply - Financial Information
There are several documents you will need to submit when applying for funding. I am going to go through each one in a different post as to not overwhelm you with information.
The fist and most important document (besides the Sunshine Fund application) is your financial information. This could be any one of the following documents:
- Your income tax return from the previous year
- Your budget letter from the government of Manitoba
- 4 of your most recent pay stubs
We need these documents for everyone living in the house making money, so either both parents, any aunts, uncles or grandparents living in the house.
Why do we need these documents?
We need these financial documents to determine your eligibility for funding. We base our funding on level of income and if you exceed that level you will not receive funding.
These documents above provide us with the most official, accurate account of your income.
We do not share your financial information with anyone outside the Sunshine Fund office unless approved by the person with whose information needs to be shared.
If you have any questions about what financial information you need to provide please leave us a comment or contact us at (204)784-1130.

Why Camp?
Here at the Sunshine Fund and Manitoba Camping Association, we believe every child should have the opportunity to attend summer camp. We believe in it so much we raise money from private donors to make sure kids who want to go but can't afford it get that chance.
So why should your child experience summer camp? There are many reasons, let me tell you some:
1. Getting to experience nature
Most of the children that go to summer camps are from urban centers, they don't get to experience lakes, canoeing, forests and other aspects of nature unless they go to a camp.
At many camps, children get the chance to swim in a lake, or go canoeing, and some camps have nature instruction. Kids can learn about nature first hand by going on nature walks or living on an island for a week.
Also, let's face it, being in nature and outside can be a whole lot better than sitting inside on the couch playing video games.
2. Gain confidence and independence
Kids can learn to be more independent from their parents while at camp in many ways. First of all they are sleeping away from home for a week. This can often cause homesickness for a day or two but then the child learns that it's okay and safe to sleep away from home.
While at camp kids will also experience activities they have never done before. By participating in these activities kids will grow confident in their own abilities and strength. This can often carry on in other areas of their life such as school and home life.
3. Learn new skills
Like I said above, at camp kids will try new activities. These activities can initiate new skills that a child never knew they had or wanted to pursue. For example maybe a child learns they really enjoy swimming and want to join a swim team. Or their cabin did a dance at the camp talent show and your child really took to it fast.Your child could have also recited a poem or verse for their cabin and discovered they love public speaking or that it wasn't as hard as they thought.
There are so many skills your child can learn at camp.
Your child can benefit in many ways by going to camp, this is why we want them to go.
