This summer, youth at Covenant House Vancouver participated in several great events and activities that gave them the opportunity to try something new, connect with peers, and have fun in a low stress environment.
Pride
Youth at CHV celebrated Pride, either by attending the parade or by participating in Pride-themed art sessions. Around 35% of youth at CHV identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ so to make them feel welcome, we like to host a variety of activities to show our love.
VanDusen Gardens
We are so lucky to have partnered with VanDusen Botanical Garden this year. They have provided passes for youth at CHV to visit the gardens, learn about nature, explore in a relaxing environment, and enjoy the benefits of the outdoors.
Summer Excursions and Activities
We also had a bunch of fun activities scheduled by youth workers for youth, including:
- Hikes at Quarry Rock, Rice Lake, and more
- Smoothie making, café dates
- Seawall Bike Ride
- A BC Lions Game booth
- Relaxing at the beach
- And plenty of ice-cream!
