The Early Learning and Child Care Team is excited to offer a March Break Virtual Camp, running over three (3) mornings over March Break 2023. The Métis Early Learning Virtual March Break Camp is open to Métis early learners between the ages of three (3) and twelve (12). The camp will provide participants with a foundational knowledge of working with leather, wood, and metal. Children will engage in play-based, hands-on learning and have an opportunity to experience working with natural materials.
This camp will follow a structure that has both guided and self-guided features. Registered families will attend multiple virtual sessions to meet their peers, ask questions, and be engaged in meaningful learning discussions.
Sessions will run for one (1) hour from 10:00 am to 11:00 am for all ages. Extended learning opportunities will be available for older participants for an additional thirty (30) minutes after each session. Families applying for the March Break camp are expected to attend all three sessions.
