On November 28th, 2019, a volunteer and staff crew from Kamp Kiwanis went downtown Calgary to the CORE Shopping Centre to decorate 2 trees, as part of Find Christmas Downtown. One with a Kamp Kiwanis theme and one with a Kiwanis Apple Festival theme. Our staff and volunteers, with the talents of Stacey from Crafternoon YYC and Bigfoot Custom Shoes created all of the ornaments. Trees were donated by Canadian Tire and will be delivered to families in need of a tree by The Magic of Christmas in time for the holiday season.

One of the ornaments created for the Kamp Kiwanis tree was a tent and campfire ornament created by Crafternoon. You can make one of these ornaments at home using a few easy to find supplies.

Family Day Nature Fun in Snow or Sun

Family Day Nature Fun in Snow or Sun

Whether it’s a snowy or sunny forecast (or maybe both), getting outside to share the beauty of nature is a perfect way to spend time with the family this Alberta Family Day!   At Kamp Kiwanis we are always looking for ways to get outside and share the outdoor experience with families.  Here are two activities for any age that you can try while out on a nature walk or even in your own backyard or local natural space.
