 "Since 1922, Christie Lake Kids (CLK) has been responding to the specific needs of economically disadvantaged children age 6-17 from the Ottawa area.  In 2008, over 600 children and youth benefited from experiences at our Christie Lake Camp facility and from our strategically located year round STAR programming offered in 6 high-risk communities:  Russell Heights, Caldwell, Lowertown, Vanier, Heatherington and Hunt Club/Riverside.  By removing barriers like cost, transportation and equipment, in the delivery of our recreational, arts and skill building programs CLK's professional staff and volunteers implement outcome-based recreation programs that promote healthy development, physical and mental health, resiliency and a sense of involvement and self-worth for the children involved.  The skills and knowledge learned build intellectual capital for a better tomorrow."
