Christie Lake Kids

WHAT WE DO

At Christie Lake Kids we believe the experience of growing up in poverty does not define a person or limit their potential. We build physical, social and character skills in children facing barriers associated with poverty through Transformative Recreation experiences.

Our year round programs in the city and at camp build resilience so that young people can be successful members of their communities.

We asked our SR Girls Only Program: what characteristics do you hope individuals featured in a magazine will have? They created a storyline and pose to reflect the stories and qualities they wish to see in magazines. This exercise gave them the opportunity to talk about their likes and dislikes about the content featured in many magazines. #STARprograms #girlsonly #girlsempowerment #girlsempoweringgirls #letstalkaboutit #realvsfake
