Talents Within Inc. is a registered children’s charity
which was initiated three years ago by CEO Paula Schutz.
Thanks to the generous support from donors, grants, our
sponsors and our guests that attended the 2002 Gala at Casa
Loma which provided a great summer camp experience for 30
children (in 2002) of selected urban communities – namely Jane
and Finch, Parkdale and Regent Park. The children, aged 8 to
11, were given the opportunity to excel in soccer, baseball
and tennis. In addition to instructional sports, our campers
were encouraged to improve their social skills,
self-confidence and team building skills through community
service activities, environmental endeavors and opportunities
to challenge themselves at ‘extreme sports’.
In September 2002, Talents Within enlisted a new team of
directors to help promote, improve and expand our programs.
Throughout the winter, the campers from Talents Within met
every second month to reinforce learned skills and continue
the bond between counselor and camper. With the help from our
friends at Play it Again Sports in Mississauga we were able to
provide a skating experience in High Park that the children
will never forget. None of our campers had ever learned how to
skate.
Thanks to the generous support from donors, grants, our
sponsors and our guests that attended the
2003 Gala at Liberty Grand, we were able to expand our
programs and provide safe transportation to and from camp
thanks to the magic bus company.
