Adaptive Equipment

The KIDS CAN programs’ purpose is to provide residents of Stephenville with the opportunities to participate in recreation, leisure and wellness programs offered in Stephenville. By working together, we can provide recreation, leisure and wellness opportunities to children and youth.

KIDS CAN Purpose

Through the provision of financial assistance, we hope to provide to as many children and youth as possible who, due to financial circumstances, are unable to participate in registered activities. We are providing a service that matches children and youth up to the age of 18 with organized, registered recreational, leisure and wellness activities of their choice. Activity areas may include the arts, recreation and sport.

KIDS CAN Vision

That all children and youth in Stephenville can participate in recreation, leisure and wellness activities which help boost their self-esteem, promote healthy active living and support personal growth through increased knowledge and skill development.
