PROGRAMS

Our programs combine physical activity with positive development tools so that our participants gain self-confidence, leadership skills, and the opportunity to connect with others in their community.

Scoreboard

Designed for non-typically developing adolescents, aged 8 to 14 of all abilities. It is aimed at helping young people lead active lifestyles through fun activities like yoga, dance, and others!

Movin' and Groovin'

Recognizing the lack of programs offered to para sport participants, this program offers youth aged 8-14 the opportunity to try and participate in several para sports including para boccia, golf, sledge hockey, curling, and more!

Para Sports

Aims to provide physical activity based programming designed to help new Canadian women explore different ways to exercise! It is a group-based, women only program, and provides socialization opportunities.

ACTIVE Integration

Designed for girls aged 8-12, the program develops physical literacy skills in a non-judgmental environment, fosters relationships with their peers and develops the skills necessary for them to lead healthy lives.

Girls in Action

Understanding the importance of offering programs where our participants live, we run basketball and soccer leagues in community centres for a variety of ages. Teams practice and play in their own community centres and then are invited to play in a culminating tournament on the Laurier campus!

Before, During, and After School Programs

Morning Movement

Before School

This program is designed for students of all ages. Recognizing the benefits of physical activity before the school day begins, our morning programs allow students to run, jump, and play before going to class.

Body Breaks

During School

This during-school program allows teachers to identify students who are struggling to focus or stay on task in class. CHC leaders take the students out of class to engage them in their favourite sports so they go back to class calm and ready to learn.

Sports Galore

After School

Can be tailored to any age group. It focuses on sportsmanship and physical literacy skills through games and experimentation. Provides participants with the opportunity to explore new activities and sports in a fun and interactive environment.
