February Recreational Day Camps at Maskwa

I am so excited to announce the launch of our two-week February recreational day camps during the school break, February 14-18 & February 21-25. The camps are for children in grades two through six and will operate from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday at Maskwa. Hot healthy lunches provided by Sweet and Savory Catering Limited. The ratio is maximum 30 children/per two instructors. To register and secure your spot today click on the registration link on the top of the Maskwa home page (www.maskwa.ca)

We are still working out the daily schedule of events and activities but we will be creating themed days: Pirate day, Spy Day, Geek Science Day, etc. The children will be doing one hour of yoga instruction twice a week, badminton in the dry land area of the gym and we’re going to create a Lego section in Heritage Hall, a reading area and arts and craft area for the children. The children will be going outside twice a day for walks, free play on the basketball court and volleyball courts (weather depending).

We have also booked some great and exciting programs to make the two week break special for the children. In the first week, J the Magician will be showcasing his magical talents on Thursday from 3-4pm and the children will get to take home a magical animal balloon of his creation. The following Wednesday we’ve booked the Reptile Show and they will give an educational talk about their 7 species of reptiles they will be bringing to Maskwa and yes the children will get to touch them. Mad Scientists will be dropping by for our Geek Science Day (date and time to be determined) but it’s a hands-on educational component for the children to learn about the fun of science and they will also get to take something home with them.

It’s sure to be lots of fun so sign up your child today. Any questions please call 443-0178 ext: 221. Have a great holiday everyone!

Maskwa Offering Two Week February Day Camps

Hi everyone:
I'm so excited. We have worked out arrangements so Maskwa can offer a two week day camp service for parents/students during the upcoming February 2011 school break.

The camp is offered for students in grades 2 through 6 and will run from 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday, starting February 14-18 for week one and February 21-25 for the second week.

This has been lots of fun to organize. I have hired one main instructor who is very qualified to deal with multi-aged students. Her bio is attached to the registration form. We will also be hiring one more instructor. Our ratio is two instructors for a maximum of 30 students per week and we are providing hot healthy lunches thanks to our caterer Sweet and Savory Catering Limited.

The fun part is we are creating themed days at Maskwa. We will be having pirate days/scavenger hunts/ a magic day with The Amazing Mister J - Magician/Entertainer (www.misterj.ca), Mad Science will be popping by one week and we will be incorporating recreation-based activities like yoga, dance, badminton into our day programs.

So, jump the line and register your child or children today by visiting https://www.esourceevent.com/register/register.aspx?EventName=maskwa

Maskwa Silent Auction at End of Jan for Spring Training

The wind is roaring here and I'm totally amazed no trees have fallen down at Maskwa. Thank you to the big person upstairs! I wanted to give everyone a head's up that a Maskwa Silent Auction event will be taking place the end of January to help raise money for our athletes to go their February/Spring training camp in Florida.

The event will take place Sunday, Jan. 30 from 2pm-6pm at Kokomo's Restaurant in Bayer's Lake Industrial Park. The restaurant is located at the corner where the Empire Theatre is located and the Bike shop. I've been told there are lots of great auction items including a complimentary night at the Quality Inn with continental breakfast. We are always looking for more silent auction donations so if you'd like to donate something to the club please email me at manager.maskwa@gmail.com so we can arrange drop off or pick up.

Also very soon I will be launching a website to highlight registration for our Maskwa upcoming day camps during the two week school break in February. Stay tuned for signs and more information on our web but basically we're creating themed days, included will be a magic show, a visit by Mad Scientist and much more. Every day will also have a recreational base included like yoga, badminton, or dance. This is sure to be lots of fun for children in grades 2 through 6. We will take a maximum of 30 children per week and have hired two qualified child care instructors to oversee the two week camps.

As for all the other stuff I'm trying to do - let's just say I'm busy. The need for a bookshelf so I can put my growing binders up would be welcome so fingers crossed someone will donate one - lol.

That's it for now folks.
