Municipalities plan activities geared for kids

12-year-olds that promote lots of
wave action at the new wave pool.

THIS SUMMER the North Shore will be alive with com-
munity events and activities for families. But some of the
ongoing recreation is planned just for kids.

Throughout both the city and
the district of North Vancouver,
the recreation centres will be
holding activities and day camps
that vary from visits to local sites
of interest to the exploration of
different cultures to participation
in sporting challenges.

In West Vancouver, two not-
to-be-missed activities are the
Arts in Action for Kids, and the
Creative Kids Day at the Har-
mony Arts Festival.

West Vancouver

John Lawson Park is the place
to be every Saturday this summer.

At 10:30 a.m. every week in Ju-
ly and August, the park will be
the site of Arts in Action for
Kids.

This is drop-in Saturday morn-
ing fun in which participants can
get involved in a variety of crafts
including fish printing, mask mak-
ing, story telling and face paint-
ing.

In case of rain, Arts in Action
will be held at the Silk Purse,
1570 Argyle Ave.

The Harmony Arts Festival in
August will be a great family
event, but Saturday, August 15 is
Creative Kids Day from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m., when all the activities
will be aimed at the younger
crowd.

Musical entertainment, clowns,
dancing and games are planned,

and lots of friendly volunteers will
be waiting to help make crafty
creations at the craft stations.

The Harmony Arts Festival
features the best artists on the
North Shore, and the Creative
Kids Day offers a chance for the
North Shore’s future artists to go
atit.
