KNOWLEDGE is POWER! For many children, friendships, managing emotions, learning and/ or â&#x20AC;&#x153;appropriateâ&#x20AC;? behaviours can be very challenging. This leads to excessive negative feedback, defeating their self-esteem. Children with tendencies similar to ADHD, Anxiety, OCD, Depression, or with an actual Mental Health designation, will benefit from learning ways to harness their strengths, in order to rebuild confidence and manage new situations. Real-life strategies will be taught to help the child feel more confident and communicate the AWESOMENESS of their uniqueness to others. Ages 10-12. A parent session will also be offered for those registered.

Sanhedrai, Tammy

This camp is being offered to children who have completed the Grade 5 Math curriculum and are heading into Grade 6 in the fall. An overview of Grade 6 Math concepts will be introduced using carefully selected resources as to not overlap with the Grade 6 School program. Students who could use a Math confidence boost will benefit from this camp, as well as students wishing to gain a leg-up in Math. All learning abilities welcomed!
