During
the summer months, Churches host many special programmes for children
and youth. These include Vacation Bible Schools, day camps and
residential camps. Below you will find information and links to some of
the wonderful programmes being run by Churches in the area this summer.
Even if they are not the right fit for your family this summer, I urge
you to learn a bit about these ministries. Many of these programmes are
funded by donations from Churches and individuals, and they would
appreciate your financial support.
VBS with St Mary's: In the last week of August, St Mary's Kerrisdale will be offering a week long Vacation Bible School held at Kerrisdale Presbyterian Church. For more information contact the Rev. David Taylor.
Camp Spirit: The United Church in the Lower Mainland is hosting six weeks of day camp at different Churches in the area - each one on a different theme from music to science to the environment - all from a Christian perspective. For more information, to donate to Camp Spirit or to register, visit their website.
Camp in the Community: The Anglican Diocese of BC is providing 6 different camping programmes around Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. With both day camps and wilderness camping programmes with varying themes and activities, there is something for everyone. For more information, visit their website.
Sorrento Centre: Each summer, the Sorrento Centre on Shuswap lake offers six weeks of family retreats during July and August. They provide daily worship, adult education programmes, access to their beach on the lake, community activities and a dynamic children and youth programme morning and evening. In addition, they also offer a leadership programme called LEAP for one week in July. Visit their website for more information on registration, programmes, and how to support the work of Sorrento Centre.
Ask & Imagine:The Ask & Imagine Youth Scholars programme is a chance to go to university on full scholarship for two weeks in the summer. It’s for young people who are between 16 and 20 years old. As a Youth Scholar at Ask & Imagine, you’ll be part of a small group of up to 20 others selected from across Canada. You’ll be accompanied by a team of carefully selected mentors, taught by university professors and live on the beautiful campus of Huron University College, part of Western University. For more information and to submit an application, visit their website or speak to Caitlin.
Anglican Camps in BC: Many of the Diocese in our ecclesiastical province of BC and the Yukon offer residential camping experiences: Camp Owaissi just outside Kamloops, Camp Caledonia near Smithers and Camp Braeburn in the Yukon. Camp Artaban, in this Diocese, will not be operating this summer due to severe financial deficits (see their website for more information).
