PRCC Weekly – July 12th-16th

This week may have been rainy and dark but things at the Prospect Road Community Centre were certainly busy and exciting. The centre hosted three more groups of children in our three different summer camps as well as four more sampler programs.

The theme this week for our Summertime Adventure Camp and My Pals and Me Preschool was “Random Theme Week” where the children enjoyed a different theme every day. Monday was Pajama Day, where many campers wore their pajamas for the day; followed by Halloween Day on Tuesday where we saw many different costumes and even had a toilet paper mummy competition. Wednesday was crazy hair and hat day; our preschoolers celebrated this day by decorating paper hats to take home as their craft of the day.

Thursday was Hawaiian Day and thankfully the sun began to shine so we were able to set up the sprinkler for the campers to enjoy for the afternoon. Friday was Decade Day which brought back some fond memories for many of our parents when helping their children prepare for that day. The rain earlier in the week did not stop our camp from being fun for all. We were able to thankfully watch a movie in our conference room which was projected onto the big screen to make the campers feel as if they were at a movie theatre.

This week our specialty camp was All Over Sports Camp which was full to capacity! The campers enjoyed a week filled with fun activities inspired by all sorts of different sports. The campers got a taste of many different sports ranging from baseball to floor hockey and the classic camp games such as dodge ball and soccer baseball. Next week our specialty camp will be Basketball Camp again which is sure to be fun for all and a little more challenging for those who are returning from our previous Basketball camp.

Our samplers this week included Kids and Youth Hip Hop Dance, Yoga and Tango Dance. These samplers were a great success and fun for all those involved. Following are some quotes, one from our dance instructor Breanna Pottie and the other from Sarah MacLeod who attended the Yoga Sampler:

“The PRCC dance studio was the ideal place for instructing a dance class because it was spacious; it had the proper flooring for dance as well as the mirrors which helped the participants perfect their skill!” – Breanna

“Courtney, the instructor and the relaxing atmosphere of the PRCC dance studio created the perfect place for both those who were beginning and the more advanced participants” – Sarah

Our Fitness Centre continues to gain members so be sure to stop in for a peek at all of our great equipment or for a one-time free trial. You are able to check out our rates at www.centre.prospectcommunities.com, under the Fitness Centre tab at the top of the screen! Lots more exciting things are still to come in the future weeks at the Prospect Road Community Centre so be sure to stay informed so not to miss any of our great opportunities for all!
