This program provides a safe and fun environment for children in Grades 1 to 6. Activities are planned for both junior- and senior-level children and include the Homework Club, arts and crafts, swimming, cooking and games. There are also physical activities and sports—both inside and outside (weather permitting). Please note that we are a nut free and sesame-free program.
