Recreational

Circle of Courage provides a monthly rec. schedule for community activity or recreational outing for the youths. This teaches our youth to have positive days so they can participate in the activity. It also gives our youth the opportunity to become familiar with community resources and get in touch with their community. 

Scheduled programming will include a City of Edmonton Recreational Centre membership. Each youth will also receive their own  Multi-Play Passes for the West Edmonton Mall. The pass is a six-month pass that allows the youth to participate in all the parks and attractions the mall has to offer. Some of the favorites attractions that the youth enjoy are the Water Park and Galaxyland Amusement park. The youth also get the opportunity to go to the Sea life taverns, mini putting at the Putt n’ Glow, skating at the Ice Palace and bowling at Ed’s Rec Room. Finally the Rope Quest with a rope obstacle course, which has tight ropes, rope ladders and other rope courses.

Individualized

Our individualized programming is essential to our guiding purpose and past success. We acknowledge the fact that each and every youth is different and unique in their own shape, form and fashion: therefore we believe that programming  specifically designed to cater to the youth’s likes and interests will develop confidence, pro social skills, self-esteem and personal fulfillment. 

Programs such as dance, music, art, cooking, community soccer, baseball, basketball, football and floor hockey are just a few activities that Circle of Courage program are able to offer youths in care. Circle of Courage will continue to help youth find a program or activity that they enjoy to help along their path while in the program.

Reporting
