A couple of local kids will be off to summer camp because of the generosity of Tim Horton's customers in High River.

Kevin Generoux, the owner of the two Tim Horton's restaurants in the town, says Camp Day was a big success again for them this year.

"Camp Day was amazing, it was an incredible day, we had volunteers in both our locations, and we had customers turning out in droves," Generoux says. "We sold more coffee than we do normally on any other day so there's a lot of customers that really understand that 100 per cent of the coffee sales go to the Tim Horton's Children's Foundation that day."

He says in total they raised $9,224.89, better than they did last year when they raised just over $7,000.  Generoux says, as is usually the case, they had more money brought in through donations than through coffee sales but coffee sales were also up that day.

"How the Foundation works is, each location gets to choose two children within the community and they're sent to a ten-day, all expense paid camp where the slogans, if you didn't read it on the shirts or read it on the cups, it's all about letting a child know, that's maybe never been on a trip, never had a trip to do anything, to be told that they're special, that they can do things, that they can take on new challenges and the world is their oyster," Generoux says. "So when they come back from the camp our goal is to empower children that maybe don't have an opportunity to do something like this, to know that there's an opportunity for more in this world."

The two local children have not been chose yet.
