Is it too much of a stretch to say we're glad to be back?
.
It was a great Holiday and our Day Camps in Charlottetown were super fun but we're glad to be back in the routine with our after-schoolers!
.
Our teen programs are back on too! Every Tuesday and Thursday from 6-8pm we have tons of fun planned in Charlottetown and Montague for the 12-15 crowd!
.
When school is out our Clubs are in!

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Health & Wellness and we are always looking for creative and unique ways to encourage physical activity, healthy eating and mental health.
.
Our @ctjumpstart Yoga for Youth Program introduced our members to a different kind of physical activity.
.
Many eagerly participated in this program each week with several kids trying it out for the first time!
.
This program was an excellent opportunity each week to stretch the body and slow the mind. .
We even got to visit a real yoga studio, our neighbours @stride.pei The experience was super memorable for those who had become practiced yogis over the course of the Yoga for Youth Program
.
Thank you to @ctjumpstart for making this program possible, our staff Maria for facilitating the amazing yoga sessions and to Mel at @stride.pei for hosting us at the studio for two incredible classes!

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Education and Skills Enrichment. We often talk about this in terms of our Literacy and curriculum based programs but ESE goes beyond these traditional ways of learning and development.
.
A few years ago we developed a partnership with Geneva Villa, a local Seniors Home just a short walk from our Clubhouse.
.
We have visited the home on several occasions. Made cards for the residents on Holidays and even gone caroling to the home at Christmas.
.
This year, our older group started visiting the home twice a month. They take a box of games, cards, and crafts to do with the residents.
.
The visits are helping our members develop conversation skills, increasing their confidence in their abilities, and giving them an opportunity for intergenerational learning.
.
The visits also give the residents some important social time.
.
Thank you to Geneva Villa for this valuable partnership!

One of our pillars of member engagement is Leadership Development. Leaders-in-Training is a junior volunteer mentorship program which offers graduating members the opportunity to learn from trusted mentors and gain valuable volunteer experience as they head into their teen years.
.
The LIT program slows down in the summer so we want to thank all our junior volunteers who helped out around the Club this year and did an amazing job developing their leadership skills!

Swimming is one of the things we look forward to most each summer. Not only is it an important skill to practice it's an excellent way to stay active and have fun! Thanks to @ctjumpstart, our summer campers will be able to go swimming EVERY week! Thank you #JumpStart
