We are committed to providing relief for the present and hope for the future.

CORE VALUES
We provide a safe place to those in need and intend to reflect Christ's love through integrity, transparency, responsiveness and compassion in all that we do.

Youth Programs

After School & Saturday Educational Programs

These high impact youth programs are based on educational improvements in partnership with Appleby College.  They are based on a curriculum that seeks to empower through education.  Free of charge music lessons, robotics programs, sports education and literacy and numeracy delivered through technology in our computer lab are the focus of the programs.

Day Camp

In the summer, KSM runs a day camp which has won North Oakville Today Reader's Choice Diamond Award as "Best Summer Day Camp" for the second year in a row.  Last summer saw the expansion of the Kerr Street Performing Arts Camp featuring full-day instruction and exploration in visual arts, music, drama and dance; over 190 children and youth participated each week for nine weeks.  With the completion of the Dream Centre the camp will expand to 270 children per week.
