PROGRAMME

As always, summer at CECC will include lots of sunshine, water play, nature exploration and FUN! Our programme encompasses sports, drama, dance, arts & crafts, games, food experiences, and long-term projects related to the children’s interests.  There will be weekly bus trips to conservation areas, city parks, amusement centres, indoor playgrounds, etc. as well as weekly walking excursions to neighbourhood parks and splash pads. 

Our daily routine prioritises lots of time outdoors, flexible schedules, and the unhurried pace that summer should provide.  

The detailed calendar of trips and events will be emailed out to children who are registered during the last week of June.
