Trivia league donation helps 60 children attend summer camp at Gananoque Canoe Club

Sixty local children were able to attend summer camp this year thanks to a $12,000 donation from the Thousand Islands Trivia League.

The league’s Trivianauts recently presented the donation to the Gananoque Canoe Club, with the funds covering the cost of summer camp for 60 children during the 2026 season.

Cliff Feltham, an organizer with the Thousand Islands Trivia League, said fundraising for this year’s camp opportunities began in January.

“Since January of 2026, we have been raising money to send kids to canoe camp,” Feltham said. “This year, we kept donations all in house, and we have raised $12,000.”

The donation brings the total number of children supported through the league’s summer-camp fundraising efforts to 180 over the past three years.

Organizers said they were excited to support the Canoe Club and thanked the Trivianauts for their continued generosity.

The league has since turned its attention to another local fundraiser, raising $1,000 to support Gananoque boxer Mathis Boucher ahead of his coming bout.

Boucher is scheduled to represent the community in a bout at the Belleville Curling Club on Sept. 12.

The league reached its $1,000 fundraising goal during a recent trivia night at ArBru Solar Brewery in Mallorytown.

The Trivianauts have now announced their next fundraising target: Gananoque Wheels of Care.

The Thousand Islands Trivia League holds trivia nights at ArBru every Thursday, with games beginning at 7 p.m.
