WASAC North Program
Program that works with northern communities to provide after school programming, leadership development and local events in their home community. Our partners include Pauingassi, Duck Bay, Lac Brochet, Oxford House and Shamattawa. There is an aspect of peer mentoring with the program so communities will develop recreational leaders as well.
Summer Camp
WASAC’s Summer Kids Camp provides positive programming for thousands of Indigenous children ages 7 to 12 years old in over 70 schools in Winnipeg. During the week at camp, children learn about Indigenous culture and participate in various sports, games and crafts. The camp is completely free as WASAC provides transportation, nutrition and all equipment necessary for the children to participate. Our goal is to give kids their favourite week of the summer, and positive role models to look up to.
