One of our most popular programs offered to younger youth (6-12) is the "Picnic Literacy Club".  Through this program, we aim to promote literacy and literacy skills in a relaxed, youth-friendly environment.

The club meets every Monday for a picnic lunch of lemonade, biscuits, books and laughter. 

Each "club meeting" opens with a sharing circle aimed at building a team dynamic and fostering oral communication skills amongst participating youth.  This is followed by a story-telling activity where workshop facilitators and youth participants take turns reading passages from the “Story of the Week”.  We then do a group activity including story-writing, oral games, crafts or reader’s theatre.
