The Strathmore Youth Club is looking forward to another great summer with youth around town.
There will be a summer camp that will be taking place where an activity will be going on every day of the week except for weekends.
On Mondays, the kids will go to the splash park: Tuesdays they will make an afternoon trip to the Jumphouse gymnastics, while on Wednesdays the kids will go swimming. Thursdays will be a big field trip to Calgary and surrounding area and on Fridays, the youth will be doing community service.
“We have our own bus this year and we’ve purchased the bus and so that’s making it easier for us to go and do different activities,” said Hannah Magee, the Youth Club’s Program Coordinator and Outreach worker.
The focus this summer will be to have more organized team-orientated events involving both indoor and outdoor activities.
“Whether that’s going to Canmore, or going on a hike, or going to the hot springs, or going rollerblading, or going to a movie or going shopping. We’re going to try and do something every week for teams,” said Magee.
She is hoping that all the kids will just have fun with all the activities that are being provided to them over the summer months.
“That’s what we’re here for is to make an exciting week and help them to find new friends,” said Magee.
“We want to make it a safe and fun environment and to interact with each other.”
The summer camps will have some short weeks that will cost $80, and $100 for non-members.
For a full week it will be $100 for members and $120 for non-members and fees will include covering the cost for the activities on that certain day and transportation.
Summer Camp will begin on June 29 and run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday to Friday.
