EFSS is a child led, play-based program where children can build a meaningful connection with the land, each others, and themselves.

Camp Dragonfly is an organization that runs programming for queer children and families, created specifically to be inclusive of youth under the age of 14. Camp Dragonfly hosts activities year round including a 2.5 day summer camp, family swims, dances, games and caregiver support meetings.

This spring pilot is subsidized in part by an Every Kid Can Play Program Community-Level Grant from Alberta’s Sports, Physical Activity and Recreation (SPAR) program.
