lifted and he was eager to go. It made me a proud parent…Keep
it up. You have changed my child. My child can’t wait to go and
he seems to communicate more,” said a parent from Umiujaq.
In addition to helping the kids with their literacy skills, the
Summer Literacy Camps also provide a rewarding employment
opportunity for the local youth who are hired as counsellors. This
past summer, of the 33 counsellors who were hired to deliver
the camps in Nunavik, 16 were Inuk from the 10 communities.
All counsellors who were hired believed that their experience
improved their employment skills and strengthened their selfesteem
and confidence.
“I think this camp has made a positive difference for the
children since camp started in the community. I have seen a
difference in the number of kids staying out late because they
want to attend the camp in the morning. Also, when I see the
kids outside of camp, they always ask me what we will be doing
the next day and they seem excited to come,” said a community
counsellor from Kangiqsujuaq.
Frontier College is proud of the kids and the counsellors who
come together to create a memorable, enriching experience for
everyone involved. This program is made possible thanks to the
generous contributions of the Makivik Corporation (Ungaluk Safer
Communities program), the Kativik School Board, The Kativik
Regional Government, Air Inuit and the Canada Post Foundation.
