GetaWay for Kids is a new package for an old product in Townsville; formerly known as Ross Ragers Youth which ran for over 5 years from the PCYC Upper Ross in Rasmussen. We needed to make some changes and a new venue was the most significant change that has eventuated. We believe this change will be a significant improvement to the quality of program we can offer to kids and families in our community, with a custom designed facility to meet the needs of the whole family.
The big changes are:
Reduced cost now $2 per child
Dinner will be offered each night from 6.00— 6.30pm and will be available to the whole family
A coffee shop will be available for parents to take some time out (by donation)
A playground and equipment will be available for those younger ones at the venue with parental supervision
A fortnightly program, with the option to look at field trips and outings, camps etc in the future
An earlier program to help the younger kids and families
We will continue to operate with the strictest safety policies to ensure your children are safe and have a fantastic time. We implement a strict training and management program for all our volunteers who will not only have blue cards, but will be trained to provide a safe and vibrant environment.
Volunteers come primarily from Riverside Christian Family Church, but also from the community, and if you would like to be involved regularly, or occasionally, we would be very keen to train you and work together with you.
The getaway program is a mix of high energy sports and games, craft projects, and practical object lessons for positive character formation and reinforcement, and vibrant energetic mentoring volunteers. The program is flexible to cater to many varied needs of the children.
