Rainbow of Cultures Summer Camps
The Rainbow of Cultures Summer Camps (ROCs) are six-week camps for children between the ages of 5 and 12 from diverse cultural backgrounds. The ROCs summer Camps include newcomers, longer settled, and Canadian born children in the greater Fredericton area. Since 1994, the MCAF ROCs have provided a safe space and environment for children to exchange cultures, make lasting friendships, and enjoy a summer filled with fun and stimulating activities.
Rainbow of Cultures summer camps provide enriching experiences in discovering the joy in similarities, we share and differences we celebrate. These ROC camps have had great success in facilitating cross-cultural friendships and understanding while providing the children with a safe space and environment to make friends and to practice English while their parents attend language classes.
Children learn about other cultures and gain an understanding of diversity while participating in music, art, games, and sports. You can register for one week, or all 6 weeks of camps!
