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! 🥳🎉 The kids earned lots of points and had a lot of fun. 🤩 Our favourite guy, Elliott, helped Beka run Bingo by reading out the numbers 🔢 Joe came in to fulfill a special food request…Okonomiyaki — a Japanese pancake with cabbage and bacon. It was a fun way to try something new and satisfy culinary curiosities!

Today was ‘games day’! 🎲🎮 The kids played lots of different board games and video games, like Just Dance, Bananagrams, Guitar Hero, Uno, and many more! 💃🕺
We finished the night with a ‘make your own pizza’ dinner that our JV Kali ran. She did a wonderful job making everyone’s pizzas! To set the tone right for the weekend we had rocky road ice cream sundaes 🍨.

It was such a fun week and are excited to see what we get up to next week! 😄🗓️

We had a taste of Turkey on Monday with Tavuk Döner & Salad-e Shirazi (Chicken Doner with Persian cucumber & tomato salad). 🇹🇷🥗 The salad was so fresh and flavourful, even our tomato haters enjoyed it! 🍅😋 We served the doners with homemade tzatziki to step up the flavours! 🥙🥣

We travelled to Mozambique with Jintia, a country in East Africa. 🇲🇿🦒 We learned about animals like the aardvark, pangolin, and the Blue wildebeest. 🐜🦏 and we made our own wildebeests for fun. 🎨🐃

Sadly, today was our last day of Pacific Sport Active After School. 🏫🏃‍♀️ Coach Avril made up three teams and had them create their own games with the skills we have learned over the last two months. 👧👦 We had a hybrid game of duck duck goose and hot potato, a fun version of freeze red light - green light, and a really awesome obstacle course. 🦆🥔🚦 The kids had such creative ideas and had fun teaching and playing the games! ✨💡 Thank you, Coach Avril, it has been a blast having fun, moving our bodies, and playing games with you! 🙏🤸‍♀️ We hope to see you again in the fall!

Thursday, we had a brain teaser competition! 🧠🤔 The kids had fun working on math crosswords, word searches, image finds, and riddles. 🤩🧩 They got the chance to team up or ride solo. 👫🚶‍♀️ There were some really tricky ones in the mix, but they were great and all had a great time! 😂🥳

Friday, we had lots of fun playing games on the VRs. Some kids were riding roller coasters, being a gorilla, and being a real-life fruit ninja! 🎮👾

We started the week off with a Taste of Hungary!! 🇭🇺 Our meal was Paprikás Csirke on Nokedli & Paradicsom Saláta (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!! 😋🍽️

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! 🇹🇭🌸

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!! 🤸‍♀️🎉
Thank you so much, Coach Avril, the kids had so much fun!! 🙏😊
