Bc Newcomers Association

BC Newcomers Association is a Canadian registered charity that operates free summer day camps for recently arrived refugee children. By teaching English language skills and a variety of sports and playground games, our immersive and engaging learning environment equips newly arrived refugee children with the tools and confidence needed to succeed in their new home. Their transitions are made easier in the company of peers with a common background and our instructors put particular emphasis on building friendships, community, teamwork, and confidence. Our camps include staff members that are fluent in many languages including Arabic, Kurdish and English, as well as members trained in specific sports and English language education.
