Barrie residents and visitors will be able to enjoy various outdoor activities and events across the city during Hello Winter, a program created to help shake off the winter blues and celebrate the season.
Parkview Community Centre We ve already increased spaces compared to what we were planning on at the beginning of the summer, Wong says. So it s nice to see that people are looking for camps, campers want to come to camp, and they do want to be out here, outdoors having fun with our great camp team. Wong refers to Camp Barrie as a variety camp. Participants take part in several different activities ranging from arts and crafts to tag, all of them adapted to COVID-19 protocols. We modified them so that we can do it within 6 meters of each other, says Wong. So we ll use pool noodles to make sure that we re staying away from each other, we ll make sure that we have craft supplies for each individual camper, and then there s an emphasis on cleaning, sanitizing and education for campers.
