Families in Grimsby, Ontario have a new option for specialized youth support after the Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre Niagara (KFCACN) listed its March Break program, Camp Acorn, for local students. The program was shared through the District School Board of Niagara (DSBN) digital flyer system on March 6, 2026, to help parents find local resources for their children during the upcoming holiday.
The District School Board of Niagara uses this online bulletin board to share approved community notices. This allows parents to see vetted programs, like sports and educational camps, that are available for students in the region. Camp Acorn’s inclusion on the portal ensures the program is visible to families within the school system who may benefit from its specialized services.
Camp Acorn is Niagara’s first trauma-informed day camp, designed specifically to support children who have experienced trauma or are navigating the child advocacy system. Operated by the Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre, the program provides a safe, supervised environment in the middle of March where students can build resilience and coping skills through structured activities.
Sign-ups are now open for the program, which is available to students in Grimsby and surrounding towns, with sessions often hosted at local sites such as the Lincoln Community Centre in nearby Beamsville. Listing the details on the school board site makes it easier for eligible families to find and book activities, helping the camp reach those who need its unique support while giving parents a direct way to manage their holiday schedule.
Residents can find more information about the camp’s registration and eligibility by checking the school board’s digital flyer website or visiting the Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre online. This tool is designed to help local families stay informed about services and programs that are specifically tailored for students in the Niagara community.
