With close to 50 camps offered throughout July and August in the New Westminster and Coquitlam areas, Douglas College Summer Camps is one of the biggest pro- grams of its kind in the Lower Mainland. “We had approximately 900 kids partici- pate in our programs last summer. With the introduction of music and drama camps this year, we should top the 1,000 mark,” said Sports Development Officer Brian McLennon. The camps allow kids to learn the basic fundamentals of sports, computers, music, and theatre within an interactive and fun environment. In addition to providing a summer full of fun experiences to thousands of kids in the community, the summer programs also provide employment opportunities for Douglas College students as camp instruc- tors. In the past seven years, the camps have employed students from Douglas College Diploma programs such as Computer Information Systems, Early Childhood Education, and Sport Sciences. Another program that has shared in the benefits of working with the community kids during the summer months is the Douglas College Summer Language Bursary Program (SLBP). In partnership with the Young Canada Works/Languages at Work program, Summer Camps pro- vides students studying English at Douglas College with an opportunity to utilize their language skills within a work environment. The introduction of music and drama this year will allow an increased number of Douglas College students to participate as instructors.
