A to Z Canadiana (3-6 years)<br />
Happy 150th birthday, Canada! Celebrate our<br />
nation’s momentous birthday with favourite<br />
Canadian animals such as the moose, beaver,<br />
polar bear and Canada goose. Create Canadianinspired<br />
crafts, experience Canadian artists, read<br />
from Canadian authors and explore Canadian<br />
biomes—all activities have an ABC twist for<br />
emerging readers.<br />
*A to Z programs are led by BC certified elementary<br />
teachers and take place in our Early Childhood<br />
Education Centre, which is purposefully designed for<br />
young learners.<br />
Imagine That! (4-6 years)<br />
Dream, pretend, create and grow! In child<br />
development, the power of imagination is well<br />
documented. By stretching the boundaries of<br />
reality through imaginative play, children will fly<br />
to the moon, dive to the bottom of the ocean,<br />
travel through time and even become invisible!<br />
Paints, Poses & Pages (4-8 years)<br />
From creating art with paint, chalk and pastels<br />
to bending and balancing in yoga’s mindful<br />
movements and reading award-winning<br />
children’s books, children will be engaged<br />
physically, mentally and creatively while having<br />
loads of fun!<br />
Build It & Swim (5-9 years)<br />
Use mounds of Lego, upcycled items, food, ooey<br />
gooeys, plasticine, natural materials and more to<br />
build. Build what? Things that roll, tower, launch,<br />
make noise, and make mom and dad say: “Did<br />
YOU make that?” Includes lifeguard-supervised<br />
swims in the <strong>WPGA</strong> pool, so bring your bathing<br />
suit, towel and goggles.<br />
Multisport & Swim (5-10 years)<br />
Play sports galore including soccer, floor hockey,<br />
dodgeball, basketball, tennis, water polo and<br />
lacrosse. Cooperative games using hula hoops,<br />
the Imagination Station, bean bags, parachutes,<br />
bowling pins and rolling boards round out this<br />
outdoor program focused on age-appropriate<br />
motor development. Includes lifeguardsupervised<br />
swims in the <strong>WPGA</strong> pool, so bring your<br />
bathing suit, towel and goggles.<br />
Happy Birthday, Canada (6-11 years)<br />

natural environments, symbols, provinces and<br />
territories, iconic animals (moose, beaver, polar<br />
