Summer in the City 

Closer to Home’s Summer in the City day camp serves families experiencing financial and language barriers, who may have limited knowledge of or access to community resources, and socio-cultural barriers to community integration. The camp provides children ages 8-14 with opportunities to learn essential values and life skills, including self-confidence, teamwork, communication, inclusion, discipline, respect, education and fair play.

Our Summer in the City camp gives kids the opportunity to participate in recreation and group activities and also get the chance to go on field trips (past camps have gone to the Calgary Zoo, Glenbow Museum, and so much more).

Seasons of Hope

Seasons of Hope helps vulnerable families year-round by providing vital resources in a time of urgent need. Support could take the form of rent subsidies, grocery gift cards, covering past due bills, and more. When a family is experiencing a crisis, community members like you can offer a safety net through the Seasons of Hope.

Seasons of Hope creates a community for families who may otherwise feel alone. And by taking care of the immediate needs of a family in crisis, we can introduce them to other Closer to Home support programs to build resilience and skills that will teach parents and kids to define and achieve what success looks like for them.
