The Dauphin Friendship Centre's Summer Camp is set to start in a couple weeks, giving kids a great way to get out of the house during summer break and connect with others.
Natalie Gabriel, Dauphin Friendship Centre Community Mentor, said the DFC knows how important it is to provide kids with things like their summer camp.
"It gives kids a lot of different ways to meet kids in our community as it is a free summer camp, it also provides lunch and a snack, so kids get to really talk and meet and converse in those opportunities throughout the day," said Gabriel.
Each week of camp has a different theme, from Tropical Vibes, to Beyond Board Games, to Art Explosion. Gabriel said kids can sign up for two weeks to get guaranteed, with a preference for a third is there's available space. And the best part? The only cost involved is a $1 membership fee, the rest is free for families.
Gabriel said the DFC is very thankful of the grants and sponsors they receive to be able to hold things like their summer camp, and it really wouldn't be possible without them.
"[Parents] must purchase a $1 membership to register for camp, but otherwise it's free, and we use our youth fundraising, so we do bannock burgers throughout the summer and hot dog sales, so those also help towards our camp," said Gabriel.
So far, some of the weeks are full, but some still have availability, and the DFC is looking to fill those slots. For more details about the DFC's Summer Camp, click here to visit their Facebook page.
