Low Cost/No Cost Recreation
At Oliver Parks and Recreation, we don’t want to see anyone left out. To assist with being able to participate in programs, there are a few financial assistance options available.
Anyone Can Join Anyone Can Join is a subsidy program supported by local organizations such as the Oliver Osoyoos Winery Association, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #97 and the Oliver Elks, to provide financial assistance to Oliver/Area “C” children, youth and adults towards membership and registration into recreation programs of their choice, up to $150 per person per calendar year. Families or individuals in need of assistance are asked to complete and submit an application form at the Oliver Community Centre. Each form is reviewed in confidence by the Recreation Supervisor and approved applicants are registered directly into the program.
JumpStart
Who we fund is simple: Kids. Kids who want to get active. Kids who want to learn a new sport or activity. Kids who want to keep up with a sport or activity they already enjoy. These kids just need a little extra financial help to get their name on the roster. Kids aged 4 to 18 from families in financial need can receive funding to help with registration fees, equipment and/or transportation. www.jumpstart.canadiantire.ca
Spirit of the Game
The Spirit of the Game Society was established to help families in Oliver and Osoyoos. A non-profit organization with a volunteer board, the Spirit of the Game Society is structured to deliver 100% of all donations to providing league fees and covering equipment costs. It does this by working with generous partners and organizing annual funding events. www.sotgsociety.com
Anyone Can Join applications are available at the Oliver Parks and Recreation Office. Spirit of the Game and Jumpstart applications are available on their respective websites.

Outdoor Adventure Camps Oliver Parks and Recreation believes in connecting people to nature and is excited to launch a new summer camp option for kids and families who love being in the great outdoors. Thanks to a new partnership with Scouts Canada, all of our 2020 summer camp programs will have access to Camp Seacrest, a characteristic grassland and Ponderosa forest near White Lake Observatory. The camp is ideally suited to group camping and outdoor learning activities. Read on to find out how your child can experience the joys of a true camping experience this summer while still being close to home…
Youth Adventure Camp
While learning outdoor skills and experiencing new adventures, your child will build confidence and memories that last a lifetime. Campers will spend 2 days at the Community Centre preparing for adventure camp by learning about tents and other camping equipment, how to menu plan, pack and protect the environment in addition to swimming and other camp activities. The last 3 days of the week will be spent up at Camp Seacrest for overnight adventure camp where kids can just be kids, make new friends, explore and try new things. We will play wide games like capture the flag, camouflage and mission impossible, learn about survival skills, hike and even create our own journey sticks and other nature-based crafts. When at Camp Seacrest, participants will sleep in groups in the tents provided and all meals and snacks are included in the registration fee. Campers will be supervised at all times by our qualified and caring camp counsellors. A list of recommended supplies and equipment will be provided prior to camp start date.

When thunder is heard 30 seconds or less after a flash of lightning is observed, the pool will be cleared. Staff strongly recommends that all patrons remain inside the pool building until the storm subsides. 2. Pool activities shall remain suspended until 30 minutes after the last thunder is heard. There will be no exceptions. It should be noted that storms are erratic and even though it may appear “safe” to resume activity, it is not. 3. Red Cross lessons are also subject to cancellation due to lightning. There will be no reimbursement or rescheduling of the classes that are cancelled due to weather.

Adult Programs 16+ years Ultimate Frisbee
Ultimate is a non-contact sport played with a Frisbee (disc) by two seven-player teams. The object of the game is to score goals. The disc may only be moved by passing - the thrower is not allowed to run with the disc. Whenever a pass is incomplete, intercepted, knocked down or contacts an out of bounds area, a turn-over occurs, resulting in an immediate change in possession. A goal is scored when a player successfully passes the disc to a teammate in the end zone. It’s a great workout and a lot of fun. Please bring water and wear running shoes or cleats, all other equipment is provided. No experience necessary. Oliver Elementary School Field 16+ years FREE Mon, April 27 – Mon, June 22 6:00pm-7:30pm

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Jiu Jitsu is founded on the idea that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using technique and leverage to defeat the opponent. Jiu Jitsu training can be used for sport grappling tournaments and in self-defence situations. Wrestling (rolling) and live drilling play a huge role in training and the practitioner’s development. It’s considered a martial art, a sport, a method for promoting physical fitness and building character, and a way of life.

Special Thanks! Our kids CANoe!
In 2019, BOATING BC awarded the Oliver Parks and Recreation Society $2500 to build boating skills in Oliver! It’s the second time in two years that BOATING BC has generously supported our town, and the gift allowed us to double our fleet of canoes to 8! We’ll be using these canoes during our SunFun camps, for paddling programming for all ages, and with local schools’. Check out page (xx) in this Guide to see the fantastic paddling programs available this spring. THANK YOU, BOATING BC!
