During the School's Out Summer Camp, our campers brought their imaginations to life through vibrant arts and crafts projects, interactive games and hands-on activities. Every moment was filled with creativity, laughter and discovery. 🎨 With a strong focus on connectedness, we encouraged collaboration to spark new friendships, strengthen teamwork and create a sense of belonging among all participants. We’re grateful to partner with United Way British Columbia in offering this enriching camp experience — giving kids in Delta opportunities to explore, learn and make lasting memories through the power of art and imagination.
