“Kids are super excited!” Chantal Palynchuk, Camp Director of iKids Day Camp, said. The camp will take place at 800 - 12th Avenue East in Kindersley beginning August 4th and running every week day until August 28th, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Every day will be jam packed with fun activities including spike ball, soccer, bubble mat yoga, relay races, chocolate pudding painting, crafts and jello wars! There’s something for everyone, and the camp is designed to get every child involved and having fun!
The camp has run for the past three years, however there will be a few changes this year because of public health regulations. This year the camp will be limited to fifteen children per day and children ages 5 to 10 years will be eligible. More volunteers will also be needed to implement the necessary sanitary protocols.

Because a limited number of children can attend, parents must pre-register their children in order for them to be part of this year’s iKids Camp. Camp Director, Chantal Palynchuk recommended parents register their children for at least several days per week, and If there are spaces available throughout the month, those can be filled as well.
This year the camp will have an overall theme, which will be “bravery” and how children can be resilient. It’s an appropriate theme, considering the past few challenging months which everyone, including children, have experienced.
Parents wanting their child to be a part of iKids camp this summer, can send their name and email address to info@ikidsclub.ca, or look them up on their facebook page.
“I’m expecting kids from past years to come back, but I know there will be a few parents who will be trying it out for the first time,” Chantal said.
Not only will the kids be excited to attend iKids Camp, but Chantal and her helpers look forward to having fun with kids and getting to know them.
