PRCC Weekly – July 19th-23rd

Ahoy! from PRCC where it was all hands on deck this week as the theme was “Pirate Week”. The centre saw many mischievous captains, first mates and landlubbers and by Friday it was time to batten down the hatches with yet another successful week under our belt.
- Jessica Morrissey

Our Summertime Adventure Camp this week took all necessary actions to transform into pirates including making pirate hats and going on a scavenger hunt where in the end they found a treasure chest full of gold; chocolate gold that is.

Our specialty camp this week was Basketball Camp for the second week this summer. The returning campers are truly improving their skills and the new campers are certainly learning lots. The camp continued to learn many fundamental skills through a variety of drills and fun games.

More exciting things happened this week at PRCC. We announced that we would be offering another week of summer camp at the end of August, also a variety of new specialty camps were announced. See the lists below for further details and be sure to sign up soon as space is limited and if not enough children are registered we will have to unfortunately cancel the program. We hosted our Zumba, Dance Fit and All In One Fitness samplers which were all full classes. These classes were very popular and are a strong possibility for full programs in the fall.

A note about registration for fall programs:

We will be having a registration night on Monday, August 16th from 6:30-8:30. This night will be the first opportunity for registration for all of our fall programs, September-June preschool program and our before/after school program. After this night you will be able to call or stop by the centre to register however space is limited therefore some programs may be full after registration night. The information regarding which fall programs will be offered will be released by early August via our website and by mail so please stay tuned !

As the sunsets on another week, we set sail onto next week where the theme for the our day camps will be “Water Week”. Our specialty camp next week will be Just Gotta Dance Camp and we will host our Karate Sampler. Lastly, fitness centre memberships are always available so feel free to stop in and sign up !
