The equipment drive
Your child outgrew their skates. Somebody else's child has never owned a pair. That is the whole idea and it costs you nothing but the drive over.
can use
Anything a child aged five to ten can wear or use, in a condition you would be happy to put your own child in. Skates, helmets, shin pads, elbow pads, shoulder pads, gloves, pants, sticks and bags.
Helmets are the one exception with a hard rule. We only accept helmets still inside their CSA certification date, which is stamped on the shell. If yours has expired we will thank you and recycle it properly, because an expired helmet on a five year old is not a saving.

Two ways, both easy
Bring it to a camp
Any morning of any camp, hand it to the desk. We will be at Leaside Arena from 4 to 7 August. Nothing to arrange in advance.
Email us and we will collect
If you have more than a bag or you cannot get to a rink, write to us. Somebody on the executive lives closer to you than you think.

Sized, cleaned, and given away
Nothing is sold and nothing is stored for a rainy day. Donated equipment is sorted by size, cleaned, and put into the next camp's gear pile. A child takes it home on the Friday and it is theirs.
