Crazy Kidtastic Closure
August 15-18
Our final week of the FCSS Summer Youth Program kicks off in Falher. During this week, the theme is Crazy Kidtastic Closure. Youth will experience an afternoon at the new splash park in Falher, have a wacky science day, go swimming at the Falher Regional Pool and wrap up the week at the High Prairie pool, O’s treats for Ice Cream and a picnic in the park! Imagine all of the great esteem building activities that the youth will be engaging in all the while having fun and meeting other youth from all over the region.
This year, our coordinator, Melanie Blanchette, is bilingual which assists our youth who speak French as their first language an all-around experience. Meagan Aubin is our assistant and also speaks French and has experience with youth programs. The 2016 team is in place to ensure your youth have a positive experience in the summer programs.
Our four-day summer programs normally run Monday through Thursday. Cost is $50 per youth.
Don’t forget!!!! The one-day horse program is on August 19 at the EC Bar Ranch, east of High Prairie, for youth ages 10-15. The youth will trail ride on horseback, slip and slide, corn maze, bale maze, cook on a campfire as well as many esteem building activities. This one-day program is $75, which includes transportation, snacks and lunch.
Subsidy is available by contacting Georgia Dubois at srfcss@live.ca or calling (780) 837-2220.
