The City of Steinbach has announced that more recreational opportunities for children will be available this summer. A total of six different summer day camps will be offered over July and August, aimed at children ages 6-12.

“Recreation is so important and we thought it would be great to provide an opportunity for more organized activities for children to get active, make new friends and simply enjoy the summer break,” said Cassandra Kornelsen, City of Steinbach’s Recreation Services Coordinator. “We also have great facilities in our community that we want the kids to explore and utilize.”

Each camp will run Monday through Friday (with the exception of Aug 5th being a holiday – the camp will run Tuesday till Friday) and have a high-energy recreational focus with participants doing a variety of sports to promote movement, health and fitness. Activities will include swimming, flag football, basketball, rugby, baseball, tennis, skateboarding, BMX, volleyball, ball hockey, dance and more. Children will visit the Steinbach Aquatic Centre, splash park, local dance studio, and a variety of City parks.

Registration will begin on April 1st and can be completed online at steinbach.ca. Anyone that registers their child before April 30th will save 10% off the $135 camp weekly registration fee. Kornelsen recommends parents register their children as soon as possible as spots are limited.
