The City of Selkirk has officially opened registration for its popular summer day camp program, Camp Awesome. Families looking for activities for their children can now sign up for sessions running through the summer months at the camp headquarters located inside Selkirk Park.
The program, located at 486 Eveline Street next to the outdoor pool, offers options for a wide age range. Kinder Camps are available for children ages 4 to 6, while general day camps are open to students who have completed Grade 1 through Grade 11. The city designed the program to provide a nature-based learning environment that incorporates Manitoba Education-based curriculum outcomes through play.
For parents needing coverage during professional development days, the city hosts in-service day camps at the Selkirk Recreation Complex Banquet Hall. This specific program is available for school-aged children currently registered in Grade 1 through Grade 6 who are within the Lord Selkirk School Division.
City officials are encouraging parents to register early, as space in the programs is limited. If a session reaches its maximum capacity, the city will automatically cancel registrations that exceed the limit and apply a $15.75 administrative fee. Families who find their preferred week is full are encouraged to submit a waitlist request.
