All Aboard Assembly – A high-energy beginning that includes wacky intros, lively songs, and the daily challenge.

Approaching the Station – As it is nigh unto the end our day, we wrap things up with some more music, the highly anticipated daily drama and the daily challenge results!
- What do I do if my child has allergies?
Be sure to advise us of this on your child’s registration form so that we can make alternate arrangements.
- How do you safely take 40+ children swimming?
Quite simply, we follow the pool rules. Including making sure those who need to are wearing PFDs, are grouped with a specific leader in ratios set out by the pool and that the lifeguard’s word is final. Beside the staff in the water, we also have staff on the deck doing constant visual checks that every child is accounted for during our stay at the pool. We have a check list with every child’s name and we check off that we have seen each child, when we get through the list; we start again, for the entire time we are at the pool. That’s why we don’t go swimming till later in the week so that we know your child well enough to recognize them when they’re all wet!

- What does my child need to bring to Day Camp?
Each day they will need to bring a bag lunch. Please be sure their name is on their lunch bag. We will provide two snacks each day.
Monday we will be going to the Manitoba Children’s Museum. A pair of indoor shoes (with your child’s name on them) is recommended.
Tuesday Engineering Kids will be coming to do a couple of presentations. Part of which will be outside, so please be sure your child is dressed for the weather, boots are highly recommended.
Wednesday we are off to The East Elmwood Community Center Gym. An indoor pair of runners is highly recommended.
Thursday we are going to the Elmwood-Kildonan Pool. A swimsuit, towel PFD if you have one and a quarter for the lockers if you would like.
Friday we are headed to the Assiniboine Park Zoo. We will be outside for much of the afternoon so be sure to have your child dressed for the weather, especially appropriate footwear.
Note: We won’t be back to the church until 5:45 on Friday.
We have plenty of toys and games for children to play with when they arrive. It would be best if they do not bring toys, games, or electronics from home as we cannot be responsible for them and we wouldn’t want them to get mixed up with the things we have here or with some else’s items.
