U-WIN Summer Day Camp

Dear parents and friends of Ukrainian Newcomer Children. Thank you for your interest in the U-WIN Camp and your requests. The camp is now working at capacity and we have a long waiting list. We are currently not accepting applications for participation in this Summer Camp.

To assist with identifying other options for your child, we have collected information about daycares, as well as educational and leisure activity opportunities for Ukrainian Newcomer Children around the city of Winnipeg. We hope this information will help you find spaces for your child. We wish you and your family all the best.

U-WIN means everyone wins. Metropolitan Lawrence Huculak invited all of the Ukrainian Catholic parishes to assist Ukrainian families that are coming to Winnipeg. U-WIN - a 9 week day camp for children of immigrants and refugees from Ukraine. It is a collaborative effort of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Winnipeg and others non-profit organizations in supporting newcomers and refugees displaced by the russian war in Ukraine. U-WIN partners with N.E.E.D.S. Inc, which offer expertise in orientating newcomers to life in Canada. The children spend half of the day improving their English skills and learning about specifics of life in Manitoba presented by N.E.E.D.S. staff, and the rest of the time playing games, doing crafts and having outdoor activities U-WIN counselors.
