Settlement Day Camp for Children from July 15 to 19 from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM

During the program, we offer newcomers’ children a day camp packed with various activities to make new friends, learn new skills, and have fun. In these five days, participants will benefit from the following:

• Hester Chan, a seasoned educator from Hong Kong and Canada, leads ELL (English Language Learning) classes.
• Stress Management sessions conducted by Pastor Hanna Ng.
• Pickleball with Joseph Li.
• Taekwondo with Au Yang.
• Canadian Cooking sessions with Alice Ma.
• Instruction in reading, writing, and conversation with Lydia Nie
• Daily Field Trips will be around the city to explore local attractions, understand the community, and build connections with other families in the program. On the last day, Grace will take the children to explore the artistic parts of Edmonton.

Due to space constraints, enrollment will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis.
