DIY Tent Ornament

IMG_4491.jpg

On November 28th, 2019, a volunteer and staff crew from Kamp Kiwanis went downtown Calgary to the CORE Shopping Centre to decorate 2 trees, as part of Find Christmas Downtown. One with a Kamp Kiwanis theme and one with a Kiwanis Apple Festival theme. Our staff and volunteers, with the talents of Stacey from Crafternoon YYC and Bigfoot Custom Shoes created all of the ornaments. Trees were donated by Canadian Tire and will be delivered to families in need of a tree by The Magic of Christmas in time for the holiday season.
