participate with their peers in an enjoyable outdoor activity during the
winter months. Volunteers are
drawn from the community and parents are an important part of the program.

children requiring a highly specialized assessment that could be accessed
through the collaboration of the member agencies.
All children must be referred from a Timmins agency.

needs between the ages of 9 to 13 years.

opportunities and experiences in continuing to develop needed social
skills through fun filled leisure and life skill activities.
