That’s a wrap for our teen program! 🎉
Last Tuesday was the last day, and we celebrated together with hot dogs, chips, and juice! 🌭🥤 The teens also enjoyed activities in the gym, and some got creative by making glowing glitter jars ✨

Yesterday, we wrapped up our mentoring group (the girls in the Jazzy Room 💕) with a fun celebration! We shared hot dogs, pasta, chips, juice, and cupcakes 🧁, and spent time both outside and at the splash pad enjoying the sunshine ☀️💦A huge thank you to the Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario Wellington-Guelph for funding this program and helping make it such a special place to be! 💙
It’s been such a great time making memories together—we’ll miss you all and hope to see you again soon! 💙

To wrap up our art program 🎨

Our art kids created their very own houses—and what an amazing project it was! This was a two-week journey: during the first week, we planned and designed, and in the second week, we brought those ideas to life. 🏡✨

Some of the creations were incredibly detailed, with a few even building second floors—so impressive! We are so proud of the creativity and effort shown by our Shelldale patrons of the arts. 💙

A big thank you to Skyline Living for funding our art initiative and giving these kids the opportunity to thrive through art. 🌟

What makes Shelldale Family Gateway so great? 💙
We asked our kids what they love most about Shelldale Family Gateway—and their answers say it all! ☀️💛
From friendships and fun activities to laughter and new experiences, it’s these special moments that make Shelldale such a meaningful place.

Let’s give our children the opportunity to create those same unforgettable memories and make lifelong summer smiles! 😊
