As parents wait with bated breath to see if a photo-finish deal can be made between teachers and the province ahead of next week's strike, North Shore municipalities are adding a slew of day camps, drop-ins and extra activities for kids.
Starting Monday, North Vancouver Recreation Commission and West Vancouver Recreation have part-time, all-day and allweek camps at municipal recreation facilities, golf courses and libraries.
North Van Rec's camps range in price from $136 to $199 depending on the activities included. Registration can be done online at northvanrec.ca, where a list of new camps has been posted, or by phone at 604-983-6388.
In West Vancouver, Fun Day camps at community centres, with a range of activities including swimming, gymnastics, arts and crafts, sports and games, start at $60.
A full list will be posted to westvancouverrec.ca and registration can be done through webreg. westvancouver.net. Both municipalities are also promoting drop-in swimming activities during the strike.
During the strike, the North Vancouver City Library will keep its teen room dedicated for teens between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and John Braithwaite Community Centre's teen lounge will be welcoming kids all day.
North Shore Neighbourhood House has spaces available in its before-and after-school care programs but no allday programs.
