A winter children’s camp and service initiative took place on December 22, 2025, bringing together children and junior youth for a day focused on creativity, collaboration, and service to the community.
During the morning portion of the camp, children engaged in arts-and-crafts activities, creating holiday greeting cards and photo props, and practiced songs they had prepared to share later in the day. These activities encouraged teamwork, creativity, and a spirit of service.
In the afternoon, the group visited Kingsway Retirement Centre, where the children shared music with residents by singing a selection of songs focused on peace and the holiday season. They also invited the seniors to join in on familiar holiday songs, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere that was enthusiastically received.
Following the musical portion, the children spent time visiting with residents, exchanging greeting cards, and taking photos together using handmade props and a Polaroid camera. The photos were left at the centre as keepsakes for the residents.
The visit was a meaningful and uplifting experience for both the children and the seniors, highlighting the impact of intergenerational connection and service. The retirement centre has since invited the group to return for future visits.
Photos from the day are shared below.
