PROFILE: TCE Community Programs (St. Maria Goretti)

TCE Summer Camps Kenmark is part of The Child Experience, a non-profit organization created to keep children engaged throughout the summer. This year they have reopened in-person camps and made sure that all their locations were both safe and filled with fun and enrichment for campers.

TCE hosts camps at multiple locations across Toronto for children aged 7-12 over six weeks. At TCE St. Maria Goretti, campers participate in activities such as crafts and games based on daily themes.

During our visit to TCE Kenmark, campers participated in rotations relating to art, drama, and sports. In art, campers played Just Dance to different songs. For drama, campers played an interactive game of “Jeopardy” with many themes corresponding to their interests. Finally, in sports, campers played an exciting game of line tag outside. All while being led by their inspiring councillors and directors.

TCE allows children to interact with other campers their age while being mentored by students in high school and post-secondary educational institutions. Their programs focus on sports, drama activities and arts and crafts. Every camper is encouraged to participate in all three activities daily while participating in games, songs, cheers and team-building exercises.
