Tim Hortons Camp Day returns on July 15, 2026, with 100% of all hot and iced coffee proceeds donated to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps. Since 1991, the initiative has raised over $275 million to help underserved youth reach their full potential. In 2025 alone, Camp Day raised more than $13 million.
Ways to Support Tims Camps
In advance of Camp Day, Tims guests in Canada can purchase a Donation Badge for $2, with 100% of proceeds supporting Tims Camps. Camp Day bracelets are available for $3, with net proceeds going to the foundation. A Camp Day donut is also offered at participating restaurants for $2, with 100% of proceeds supporting the camps.
A Legacy of Community Support
“For nearly four decades, Camp Day has been a powerful reminder of what the Tim Hortons community can accomplish together. Every hot and iced coffee sold on July 15 goes directly toward helping youth from underserved communities discover their full potential – and last year, that led to an incredible $13 million raised,” said Axel Schwan, President of Tim Hortons. “I want to thank our incredible restaurant owners, their members, and guests for their generosity year after year, and I encourage everyone to join us on Camp Day to help make a difference in the lives of young people who deserve every opportunity to succeed.”
History of Camp Day
The first Camp Day was held in 1987 by 58 restaurant owners in Atlantic Canada who donated 24 hours of sales to build the Tim Horton Children’s Camp in Tatamagouche, Nova Scotia, which opened the following year. The initiative expanded to all Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada in 1991.
Impact on Youth
The Tim Hortons Foundation Camps have supported nearly 350,000 underserved youth through a multi-year development program that promotes confidence, resiliency, and other critical skills. The Tims Classrooms Program, launched in 2024, brings youth leadership and social-emotional learning (SEL) programs to schools across Canada.
“Camp Day is a powerful reminder of what makes the Tim Hortons community so special. Each year, restaurant owners, team members, and guests come together to create opportunities for youth who need them most. Every coffee purchased on Camp Day helps young people build confidence, develop new skills, and discover what’s possible for their future. It’s inspiring to see how small acts of generosity can lead to extraordinary outcomes,” said Caroline Barham, Tims Restaurant Owner and President of Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.
How to Participate
On July 15, 100% of proceeds from all hot and iced coffee sales at Tim Hortons restaurants in Canada and the United States will be donated to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps. Guests are encouraged to upsize their orders and treat family and friends to coffee to maximize the impact.
