“The idea is to see that every family can enroll regardless of means,” said Dave Cursons of The PEACE Program at Lower Similkameen Community Services.
The day camps are a cooperative project by Dragonfly Learning, the Lower Similkameen Community Services Society (LSCSS) and recreation programs of the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen.
Sponsorship for kids in need can be given through the LSCSS.
The one week camps cost $150 and includes leaders, instructors, materials, lunches, snacks and a whole lot of fun.
Playtime clothes, sneaks, not flip-flops, a sun hat, SPF 50 sunscreen and a water bottle with a name on it, is all that’s required.
