6- 12 years | Children will explore their creativity and let their imaginations loose, by engaging in various types of art projects, games and activities that will also help boost their confidence and connections with others.
10 years and up | Ideally, children should be supervised at all times by a responsible adult. However, today’s family situations often cannot accommodate this. The Home Alone Program is designed to provide children with the necessary skills and knowledge to be safe and responsible when home alone for short periods of time. It will help them understand how to prevent problems, handle real-life situations, and keep them safe and constructively occupied. This program has been developed by the Canada Safety Council and is recommended for children who are at least 10 years of age and up. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
8–12 years | In this program, we will harness scientific inquiry through fun and engaging hands-on activities. You will have the opportunity to create, innovate, and explore while utilizing science, technology, engineering, and math. Together, we will use collaborative problem-solving and develop critical analytical skills.
6–12 years | Explore a variety of fun activities and exciting games. Design your own unique activities and experience valuable team-building opportunities. Show your creative side as you engage in challenges that foster cooperation and relationship building. Embrace new experiences, unleash your creativity, and most importantly, have fun!
8-12 years | The aim of the Social Skills program is to develop general social skills of youth, focusing on topics such as friendship building, communication, self-esteem, teamwork, bullying and assertiveness. During each session youth work on developing their skills through a variety of engaging activities, discussions and games.
