Sanctuary Pre-Teen Centre

Sanctuary Pre-Teen Centre We are a free licensed centre for pre-teens in the City of Trail, (8-12 yrs). We offer a variety of activities and snacks on weekday afternoons.

Sanctuary is supported by individuals, businesses, social groups and our community. It is 100% free for children and their families! Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for pre-teens in the city of Trail. We help children learn positive ways to interact with each other, the staff and volunteers while offering them a wide variety of ways to be creative in their play and interact

ions. Our consistent and non-judgemental boundaries focus on respect for self, others and place. Open since September 1998, we have about 60 children registered, with 15 to 25 coming each day and about 12-20 staying for supper each night. All children who need a safe and fun place to go during non-school hours on weekdays are welcome.

Yesterday we played BINGO! ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰ The kids earned lots of points and had a lot of fun. ๐Ÿคฉ Our favourite guy, Elliott, helped Beka run Bingo by reading out the numbers ๐Ÿ”ข Joe came in to fulfill a special food requestโ€ฆOkonomiyaki โ€” a Japanese pancake with cabbage and bacon. It was a fun way to try something new and satisfy culinary curiosities!

Today was โ€˜games dayโ€™! ๐ŸŽฒ๐ŸŽฎ The kids played lots of different board games and video games, like Just Dance, Bananagrams, Guitar Hero, Uno, and many more! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ
We finished the night with a โ€˜make your own pizzaโ€™ dinner that our JV Kali ran. She did a wonderful job making everyoneโ€™s pizzas! To set the tone right for the weekend we had rocky road ice cream sundaes ๐Ÿจ.

It was such a fun week and are excited to see what we get up to next week! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

We started the week off with a Taste of Hungary!! ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ Our meal was Paprikรกs Csirke on Nokedli & Paradicsom Salรกta (Chicken Paprikash on freshly made Egg Noodles with Tomato Salad in a dill vinaigrette). It was such a delicious meal and the chicken was so moist!! ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

On Tuesday, we travelled to Thailand with Jintia!! We learned that they celebrate their new year in April with the world's largest country-wide water fight. It symbolizes ritual cleansing, washing away bad spirits, and bringing good luck for the new year. For our craft, the kids made their own lotus flowers! ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ญ๐ŸŒธ

This Wednesday at Active Afterschool, the kids worked on their jumping. We did lots of jumping practice and a really fun game of rock paper scissors with a twist!! ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŽ‰
