Attention: Ms. Pearl West
Dear Pearl,
We fully agree with the decision to cancel the May/June Eco-Camps. Also, there is a good chance, the Board of Directors of Camp Bickell may be faced with canceling our summer camps. We will not go ahead, unless expert medical advice, indicates that we can 100% insure the health, and safety, of all our staff and campers. The Board will make that decision May 31st if not earlier, as this serious situation changes daily.
If total cancellation happens, in 2020, the camp will still have in the range of $32,000 in yearly fixed operating costs with limited operating revenue. Truck payment ($6,400), building insurance ($10,800), hydro delivery charges ($4,000), town phone ($2,400), camp phone ($1,000), internet service ($2,400) and anticipated maintenance and security ($5,000). We finished 2019 in a cash position of $21,340 and thus far have raised $10,000 in small donations to get us through the year.
However, we will not be able to pursue any much-needed upgrades, or repairs, as we would have relied on the carryover funds and projected operating profits, in 2020, to do this work.

DSB ONE Request - Page 2
In the coming years, we had intended to upgrade Schumacher Dorm, Placer Dome Dorm and DSB ONE Dorm and seek financial support from the namesakes. Over the past two years, with the financial support of the principles whose names appear on the buildings, we have renovated Windeyer Dorm and Moffat Dorm, with new bunks, mattresses, flooring, painting and weather treatment of the decks.
This week, we reached out to the F W Schumacher Foundation for a financial commitment to do the Schumacher Dorm, this summer, as cancellations will present a golden opportunity. We were advised, yesterday, by Ms. Leslie Blanchard, the granddaughter of Mr. Schumacher, that they would donate $20,000 to be sent mid-April.
Also, we have reached out to Bryan Neeley at Newmont Goldcorp (Placer Dome Dorm) for their financial support.
With the possible total camp shutdown, or a substantially reduced schedule, this gives us the opportunity to fit all these projects, into 2020, with limited disruption to the operation.
Also considering, we have already committed to four councilors to begin work in May-June for the cancelled Eco-Camp. Doing these renovation projects, this year, will allow Camp Bickell to honor some of these commitments by having them provide labor. With such a small group of four, and a large area, we will be able to abide by all restrictions in place because of Covid-19. If not, we will proceed with contractors providing both material and labor.
The flooring for these projects has been ordered, and received, by Pro Hardware in South Porcupine. The bunks, and mattresses, have also been ordered. These decisions were made based on our business plan for a normal operating season, in 2020. That has gone by the wayside because of Covid-19.

The estimated cost of these upgrades, based on experience doing the other two dorms, is approximately $20,000, per dorm, as per the following breakdown on the next page.
DESCRIPTION AMOUNT

A Look at the Current Interior of DSB ONE Dorm
In 2020, Camp Bickell will celebrate its formal 80th anniversary of serving the children of our community. We are particularly proud of our annual youth sponsorship program. Since 1986, over 5,000 underprivileged youngsters have been able to attend, our general summer camp programs, free of charge. Many of these youngsters are referred to us by the DSB 1 school principals. These kids come from a geographical area of Hearst, in the north, to Temagami, in the south, with the majority coming from the Timmins area. No child has ever been turned down because of financial restraints.
In addition to our summer camps, the Board of Directors of Camp Bickell has partnered, and provided DSB 1, a facility at minimal cost for the May-June eco-camp program. We value this relationship greatly. Without the support of DSB 1 back in 2000-2003, we would not have been able to achieve the goals of being a facility where all types, of youth programs, can be conducted at affordably.
In-Camera Board Meeting – AGENDA April 21, 2020 Page 18 of 25
DSB 1 Request – Page 6
In addition, during June, we partner with the Timmins Police Services to hold a DARE program camp for area high school students, including those from DSB 1.
In July, and August, traditional summer camp programs are provided to all youngsters in our area. Along with normal summer camp activities such as swimming, canoeing and arts and crafts, other sessions are held on many youth related issues such as bullying. Approximately, 50% of the kids attending our summer camps are students of DSB 1.
Also, we partner with Mushkegowuk to conduct a two-week summer camp for indigenous children from the local area and from communities, stretching from Moosonee to Fort Albany, along the James Bay Coast and west to Chapleau. Again, many kids are, from the Timmins area, attending DSB 1.
In September, we, periodically, conduct leadership programs for Grade Nine students from some area high schools and environmental camps for others, including students from DSB 1.
Celebrating our 80th year has only been possible with the support of school boards, businesses, individuals, foundations and service clubs.
Camp Bickell is a non-profit, non-denominational children’s charity (CRA #11880-8013- RR0001) that operates programs geared to youth 7-16. As noted, it is operated by a volunteer nine-person Board of Directors. It has no full-time employees.
Historically, Camp Bickell was initially the brainchild of Percy Boyce, who was principal of Schumacher Public School who, in 1939, took a group of Grade 8 boys from the school for an outdoor camping trip to a cottage lot owned by the school’s janitor on Finn Road.

DSB 1 Request – Page 7
The following year, 1940, Camp Bickell was officially incorporated to serve the children of our area on a lot leased, and later purchased, on Chapman Lake in McIntosh Springs, some 55 kilometers from Timmins.
From humble summer camps, we have evolved into a facility offering a wide range of youth activities for the betterment of our communities.

We hope that you are able to support this request for funding to allow the needed renovations to DSB ONE Dorm. If you have any questions, I would be happy to respond. Please contact me at (705) 262-8349.
Yours Sincerely,
Joe Campbell

A Summary of payments made to Camp Bickell since December 2001 is below.
$1,861,175.53 has been paid, of which $300,000 was a capital contribution paid in four annual installments of $75,000.
A Broadbase Program ran through RMSS to construct the some of the buildings at the Camp and invested $25,000 in tools for the project (possibly bunkhouses). Any copies of the original agreements would have been burnt in the Board office fire in 2012 and it was not scanned into Docushare back in 2001 but the Board of Trustees approved the agreement at the Inaugural meeting in December 2001.
