Things kick off with the first Camp d’été / Franco Fun 2021 from July 5 to 9, with the event running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day at a cost of $5 per child.
“We have a lot of activities planned for the kids and they’re all welcome to come and enjoy it,” said Mary Emily-Ann Harvey with ACFMJ. “Everyone speaks English, too, so if your kids have some issue with French-speaking, there will be no worries, they’ll still have a lot of fun."
Organizers have events planned for each day, with sports, arts, discovery activities and even the occasional field trip part of the whole week.
A second Camp d’été / Franco Fun camp will be held from Aug. 16 to 20, offering the same kind of fun and friendship.
The ACFMJ is also preparing to take part in Camp Voyageur, a pair of special two-day camps offering all sorts of fun and activities as part of a province-wide tour throughout the summer months.
The two events will run from July 20 to 21 and July 26 to 27 at a cost of $50 per child. The bulk of the days will be spent in Crescent Park with all sorts of games and activities designed for educational fun while offering participants a chance to expand their knowledge of Francophone language and culture.
A typical day for Camp Voyageur would see the youngsters arrive at Ecole Ducharme at 9 a.m., head out to Crescent Park at 9:30 a.m., take part in a host of fun in the sun, return to the school at 3:30 p.m. and pick-up at 4 p.m.
Like Franco Fun, plans are also in place for excursions to offer even more to the whole experience.
To register, send an e-mail to acfmoosejaw@gmail.com with the names of the children taking part. Payment can be made immediately though E-transfer or on the first day of camp.
The registration deadline for Camp d’été / Franco Fun 2021 is June 30.
