Emotions can run pretty deep under the water, which is why our T-Flex campers are diving into "Emotion Commotion in the Ocean" this week. Using the magic of underwater worlds as a springboard for exploring emotional regulation, collaboration and communication, they are learning that whether they're navigating ocean currents or everyday feelings, knowing how to read the water makes all the difference.

It's game time! This week, the campers from our Skye group are channelling their favourite game shows into a week of teamwork, friendly competition and good sportsmanship. This is more than just fun, because knowing how to win graciously, lose graciously and show up for your team are skills that are helpful to have in every aspect of our lives.

Let's play.

We're entering our final week of our 2026 Summer Camp. It's been a blast!

Here's what's coming up for each of our groups this week.

Stress is just part of life and something we all experience. What matters is how we respond to it.

This week, some of our campers are exploring different types of stress and building or practicing healthy skills to handle it better. From developing a relaxation response to expanding their coping toolkit, they are learning that stress doesn't have to feel overwhelming. The more tools you build, the more choices you have.

Reset. Recharge. Keep going.

Our kiddos had a blast today taking in the 2026 Whoop Up Days parade. What an incredible day in Lethbridge! It was a morning chock-full of colour, smiles, decorated floats, horses, classic vehicles, music, performance and so lots community spirit.

Thank you, organizers and congratulations on a job well done!

We've just wrapped up week five of Bridges Summer Camp 2026! We're more than halfway through! Week 6 holds a whole new set of fun activities for our campers.

Thanks to Galaxy Bowling - Lethbridge and The Movie Mill for welcoming our groups for some indoor summer fun!

Check out what's planned for the week ahead!

This week, some of our kiddos are diving into a world of imagination and creativity inspired by their favourite anime stories and characters. Through themed games, art projects and team challenges, they are collaborating to bring those worlds to life.

The best anime stories have always been about more than epic battles and plot twists. They're about showing up for each other and working as a team. Turns out, that's pretty good life advice too.

The 2026 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games open tomorrow in Medicine Hat. Having this awesome event so close to home makes it even better.

From August 11 to 15, 1,700 athletes representing 12 chapters from across Canada will compete in ten sports, including athletics, swimming, bocce, softball, powerlifting and rhythmic gymnastics. Some of these athletes are competing for a spot on Team Canada at the 2027 World Summer Games. Approximately 1,500 volunteers and 3,500 spectators will be there to cheer them on. As the Games' motto says, "We Shine Together."

We wish all these amazing athletes the best of luck in their events, but are cheering especially hard for those competing from southern Alberta.

Schedules and results are up at socmedhat2026.ca if you want to follow along from home or make the drive and watch in person.

This week, some of our day campers are drawing inspiration from real people - like Terry Fox, Marie Curie and Temple Grandin - who faced obstacles and changed the world anyway.

Through activities focused on growth mindset, teamwork and communication, our kiddos are exploring what it means to push past barriers, think differently and keep going even when things get hard. Because heroes aren't superhuman. They're just people who didn't give up.
