​

The Recreation & Parks Association of Nunavut hosts annually the Get Happy Summer Day Camps and staff training program!

 

The Get HAPPY Summer Day Camp, a program of the Recreation & Parks Association of Nunavut initiated in 2015 hosted its' tenth anniversary in 2024. 

 

Over the course of the 10 years, we have seen tremendous growth in youth trainees, community participation, partnerships and program quality in our communities.  Without question, the Get Happy Day Camp is RPAN’s signature youth initiative!  

​​

Through the Get Happy Summer Day Camp Staff Training initiative, RPAN provides training, certification, team building, and leadership development sessions.  The trainees return to their communities with confidence, tools and resources to deliver a fun, safe, organized summer program for children aged 5-12 in their community.

 

Youth leaders, between the ages 15 – 29, plus one supervisor will attend a four-day training forum that will provide training as leaders and develop skills they can use to create positive change in their communities through physical activity, creative arts and sport, and through the implementation of a six to eight (6 – 8) week summer day camp program. Youth leaders will participate in a variety of interactive workshops and activities that will prepare them to implement their Get HAPPY Summer Day Camp programs, a project aimed at improving the lives of children and youth in their communities.

 

At the conclusion of the training week, participants will be fully prepared, confident, excited and skilled to return to their home communities to deliver quality summer day camps. This includes daily activity plans, equipment and arts/crafts/snack check lists, registration forms and promo material.

 

The 2025 Get Happy Summer Day Camp staff training will take place June 16th  - 19th in Iqaluit.
