We believe in kids.

When all children have access to opportunities to learn skills, connect with the community and play safely great things happen!  Children who participate in critical hours and enriched experience program ming have better self esteem, do better in school and strive for more from life. These are the keys to breaking the cycles that living in poverty creates.

Christie Lake Kids creates opportunities for economi cally disadvantaged children and youth in Ottawa that changes the trajectory of their young lives through sport, arts, camp, mentoring and leadership programming that recognizes their needs, supports and challenges them.
