The Epicentre is excited to announce its full line-up of Winter Session Programs. You will find that it is similar to our Fall programs. The biggest change is that this session we are strictly limited to only 10 spots in each program. Epicentre Family Pass Holders can sign up now. Your child’s spot in a program will only be fully reserved once your completed registration form and payment have both been received. We are willing to work with anyone needing an installment payment plan – but the plan must be in place to reserve your child’s spot. Contact Melody at mpender@sginh.ca for payment plan options or financial support. Remember to renew your Epicentre Family Pass for 2023 in order to take advantage of the reduced program fees.

Please Note: The Epicentre policy on refunds is that once our programs have begun we will be unable to issue refunds.

This is a hands-on program. Each week we will explore a different concept from simple machines to chemistry experiments. Some projects will include catapults, marble runs, windmills, making of gloop etc. Fine motor skills to use hot glue guns, scissors and nuts and bolts are an asset. The program focuses on creating a positive environment where children will get to explore new concepts and then use their creativity to develop these new ideas.

Thursdays:  Sewing Club 3:45-5:15pm, Jan 5 – March 16 (11 classes), Family Pass $165 or Regular $206, ages 5+. With Karen Parker.

In this program the children are taught basic sewing skills such as threading a needle, basic stitches, cutting fabric and using a template. Once basic skills have been learned the children will get the opportunity to try sewing with a machine. Each week the children have a choice of projects to choose from such as stuffed animals, pillows, pin cushions, bags etc. The children are also encouraged to use their own creative ideas and often come up with some pretty amazing items.

Thursdays:  Youth Sewing and Crafts Evening 5:30-7:00pm, Jan 5 – March 16 (11 classes), Family Pass $165 or Regular $206, Grades 6 +. With Karen Parker. * Plus $5 per evening for the pizza dinner, $55 total for the 11 dinners.

This is a great opportunity for our older children to take their sewing skills to a more advanced level and have greater access to the sewing machine. Other craft projects will also be made available such as paints, drawing, fimo clay, beading, making of dioramas etc. While the children  are being creative, listening to shared music and feeling free to connect with each other a pizza dinner will be provided. It is a great way for our youth to start their weekend while being creative.

Using the Montessori teaching method the children will get to spend each Friday in a creative and supportive learning environment. The days will consist of hands-on exploration as we strengthen math, language, science, geography and history skills. We will take a multi disciplinary approach by overlapping subjects and often using art, games and hands-on challenges. There will also be time throughout the day to help anyone with homework.
