Children's Program


Many students and staff attending Summer@CanIL are parents with children. For some families, one parent attends classes while the other parent cares for the children. In other families, both parents attend classes. Summer@CanIL is committed to supporting staff and student families so that parents of young children may focus their attention on their CanIL studies with confidence that their children are well-supervised and nurtured during class hours.

Each summer has different needs depending on the number and age of children, and the number of parents who are taking courses. We form a parents co-op with a designated facilitator to organize age-appropriate activities and delegate child supervision responsibilities amongst the parents, other staff and students. Summer@CanIL is a Christian community and many of our students are training for service overseas on the mission field. An active part of community living involves encouraging our staff and students to volunteer time for the co-op program.

The Harvest Centre where classes are held provides a small nursery room suitable for young children. It is equipped with a variety of useful items:

The campus at Trinity Western University also has several fields, a pond and beautiful wooded areas for nature walks and enjoying the beautiful B.C. weather and scenery. Historic Fort Langley is close by as well as a number of community libraries.
