**** Info via Camp Courage
Ellie is from Wolfville, Nova Scotia and graduated from Camp Courage class of 2017. This is what she has to say about Camp Courage
“Camp courage is such a spectacular program, I benefited hugely from all of the hands-on experience (especially in the paramedic days) that we participated in. They really helped me to understand what the profession(s) involved and continued to inspire me to pursue a career in medicine!
�The program also encouraged me to organize the Harvest Dinner. An event that raised $10,000 towards sponsoring a refugee family in our community. This event was incredible and helped to spread awareness of the refugee crisis to people in my community.
�Camp courage was such a wonderful experience all around, and I believe that it will continue to inspire young women to work towards achieving their goals and improving their communities.
