• Encourage participation
• Support a sense of mastery
• Respect and support the uniqueness and diversity of each child
• Provide age-appropriate environments, activites, and equipment

HIGH FIVE provides tools, training and resources to program providers, supports organizations using these tools, educates parents and the general public about the importance of sport and recreation and the general need for quality programs.  Visit the HIGH Five website to learn more about this fantastic quality assurance program!

Student Volunteers

The Peterborough Sport & Wellness Centre welcomes numerous student volunteers into the program over the course of the summer. Their roles support the camp staff in many ways. Student Volunteers are also accepted during the school year for after school, evening and weekend programs.   Volunteers are selected through an interview and are placed on a performance evaluation system.  We love volunteers!  Come out and play with us.
