TODAY IS THE DAY! Our first day of teaching is a perfect opportunity to give more details about BCNewcomer Camp. We offer a free program for newcomer refugee children which is being delivered online for summer 2020 due to Covid-19. Camp participants who need a device will be given one (to keep) to participate in the program, helping them, and their families. Our camp eladers are fluent in first languages of our participants (Arabic, Farsi, Spanish, Somali and Tigrinya) to ...deliver the curriculum in a fun and effective way. The camp curriculum includes comprehensive English language education, nutritional education, games and learning about Canada! If you would like to follow our journey this summer, please stick around and SHARE OUR PAGES. The more engagement we have the better chance we have for providing these camps for as long as possible and to other places around Canada. Thank you for your support.
