Child & Youth

Creative Kids

6–10 years | Express your ideas and show your originality at this exciting art program! We will be exploring various mediums of art including, paint, pastels, and papier-mâché. On the final evening of the program, we will have our very own FFRN Art Exhibit for all the children to show off their works of art which, they can then take home in their art portfolios. Children will be challenged to think outside the box and use their creativity with art projects that will boost their confidence and let loose their imaginations!

Check out Art Works for a similar program for youth ages 11 to 14-years-old. 

Home Alone

10 years and up | Ideally, children should be supervised at all times by a responsible adult. However, today’s family situations often cannot accommodate this idea. The Home Alone Program is designed to provide children with the necessary skills and knowledge to be safe and responsible when home alone for short periods of time. It will help them understand how to prevent problems, handle real-life situations, and keep them safe and constructively occupied. This program has been developed by the Canada Safety Council and is recommended for children who are at least 10 years of age and up. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance.

Parental consent forms required | $25.00 fee

Junior Kids Klub

6–9 years | Join our Child & Youth team for our evening Jr. Kids Klub for 6–9 year-olds. This is a time kids can come to have fun in a safe environment through a variety of games, activities and interesting conversations. Learn some new skills, show us your creative side, and have fun!

Kids with Confidence: Calm and Collected

8-12 years | The Kids with Confidence: Calm and Collected program supports participants to build communication skills and healthy ways of identifying and expressing emotions in a safe and supportive environment. This helps youth to understand how strong emotions can affect their lives and relationships. Through activities, group discussions and self-reflection participants will increase awareness of their emotions, with a focus on dealing with anger. Discussions will include creative ways to express and communicate feelings with useful and appropriate strategies. Throughout the 6-week program, participants will be provided with strategies on how to calm down when they are angry, upset, frustrated or overwhelmed. There will also be opportunities to work out problems and apply new strategies in daily life. Come join us for this interactive program.
