Embers is a place for fun activities for 7 and 8 year olds. She’ll have a blast with old and new friends using her imagination, exploring nature, gaining new skills and finding ways to “Lend a Hand” (The Motto) in her community.

Embers usually meet once per week for an hour.

Embers can try new activities like:

• Planting a garden and watching it grow
• Nurturing healthy friendships and managing conflict
• Meeting local women entrepreneurs or artists
• Building with basic tools such as screwdrivers and hammers
• Leading the group in their favourite game
• Learning outdoor safety and camping fundamentals
