A youth camp put on by the Parkland chapter of the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba is going ahead this year with a few changes.

Eleanor Snitka, Outreach Manager for the Parkland chapter, tells us what the changes are this year.

“We are going to lower the age. This year it’s going to from 10 to 14.  We want to work with that younger age group and do a few things different.  Instead of having a rock band camp, we’re going to do art, music and drama. To give kids who might be struggling with mood disorders or just struggling with being a kid, to give them that opportunity to find their voice and to be able to do it by doing some fun things.”

The camps will be broken down into two one week camps at $50 per camp.

A registration night will be held at the Dauphin Friendship Centre Youth and Family Building on May 30 at 6:30 in the evening.
