Ecole De L'Anse-au Sable De Kelowna Hosted Explorations Summer Camps

Ecole de l'Anse-au sable de Kelowna used its Explorations grant of $5,000 to offer one arts and one sport and recreation camp for 42 children, ranging in age from six to 13 in July 2005. Children attended on a 'pay as you can' basis to ensure the camp's success in a low-income area. The first week offered a fine arts emphasis through music, drama, fine arts, and creative dance exercises. The second week offered creative physical activities for attendees. The program supported the curriculum goals of the school's Physical Education program and the Action Schools! BC program. The camps also promoted and facilitated French language expression through activity.

Explorations provided students in kindergarten to Grade 7 with opportunities to explore arts, sport and recreation in summer camp settings. The program, which ran from 2005-2008, served students who were otherwise unable to attend summer camps due to location, local resources or financial limitations. Explorations was supported by the Province of British Columbia.
