Seasonal Breaks Programs

Our seasonal break programs keep children ages 5 to 12 engaged with a mix of creative, educational, and outdoor activities—from summer adventures and spring explorations to festive winter crafts.

For age-appropriate activities, social development, and staffing support, our programs are structured into two core groups - Juniors and Leaders, each with its own seasonal program calendar and designated space within the centre.

The Juniors program is tailored for children in kindergarten to grade 3, while the Leaders program is for children in grade 4 to grade 7. The same program structure applies to both before and after school programs and the seasonal breaks programs.
