DescriptionCity Kidz is a non-profit Christian organization that assists children living in the inner city. 
 
City Kidz 'Saturdays' (Ages 6-12 yrs) - Focus is on providing a fun, entertaining and exciting atmosphere that teaches positive attitudes and behaviours founded on Christian values and principles * Action packed with songs, games, prizes and crazy antics by the leaders and hosts 
 
Kinder Kidz 'Saturdays' (Ages 3-5 yrs) - A program designed especially for this younger age group 
 
Children who live within the service area also have the opportunity to receive a ride to and from the City Kidz "Playhouse Theatre" by one of the big red City Kidz buses * Runs four sessions each Saturday to accommodate more then 900 children each week 
 
As well as having an opportunity to attend the Saturday program, each child receives a personal home visit by one of the visitation volunteers. Home visits give our volunteers the opportunity to build relationships with the children and families and provide physical, mental, emotional and spiritual support to children/families in need. 
 
'Summer to Remember' is a summer camp sponsorship program that sponsors children (5-12 yrs) to attend designated camps and/or youth (13-15 yrs) to attend Leadership-in-Training programs * Camp sponsorship is for children/youth who are already enrolled in another City Kidz program * Transportation is provided by City Kidz bus.
