recreation programs

We believe that strong, healthy families are the heartbeat of our community, and all kids deserve to be connected to meaningful recreation, leisure, art, and play opportunities.

Staying active helps children stay healthy, live well, and build strong bones and muscles. Outdoor play and participation in sports are important to your child's healthy growth and development.

If you need help connecting with different recreation opportunities in our community or help with funding or equipment needs, please reach out to us!

Skating Basics

In partnership with the Portage Learning and Literacy Centre and funded by Canadian Tire Jump Start, skating basics is a program that runs approximately 6 weeks. One evening a week, children new to the ice or needing to practice will have an opportunity to gain some skills with the help of volunteers like our own local Portage Terriers.

Open Gym

We are pleased to be able to offer open gym time to toddlers and older youth in our community. This will give children the opportunity to engage in non-structured recreation opportunities and provide a place for families to make connections. Check out our calendar for dates and times!

Summer Camp

Summer Camp offers opportunities for children going into kindergarten to age 12 from all socioeconomic backgrounds to enjoy full days filled with themed activities in a supportive and inclusive environment. Each week will feature indoor and outdoor play, art & crafts, and the chance to try new recreational activities. We focus on all aspects of recreation while team building and encouraging activities that promote wellness, diversity, and inclusion. There is a cost of $100/week for camp. Snacks and meals are included and financial assistance is available. Information will be released each April for the upcoming camp year so stay tuned.

Playbox

FRC has recently purchased a playbox that has been filled with sports equipment for families in the 11th St NW Outreach area. This is FRC’s first playbox, and we hope to expand this to other areas of town in the future! This project was funded by Municipal Relations: BSC Program.

Multisport

FRC is currently working on developing a multi-sport program that will soon be offered to children and youth in our community. This program will focus on teaching basic skills from a variety of sports including soccer, baseball, basketball, cricket, and more! This is a great way to determine what sports a child may be most interested in, and it will provide consistent recreation through the year! More information will be available soon.
