Wonder of Work

_{Dates:
July 10th-14th
July 17th-21st
August 14th-18th}

_{Venue:
Principal Sparling School -1150 Sherburn St, Winnipeg.}

Kids can't imagine a future for themselves doing something they've never experienced. 

WOW helps kids in grades 5 & 6 to explore career options and to learn about themselves and their goals. WOW is a fun way for kids to learn about themselves, but it's so much more than that. They explore their likes, dislikes, and potential, and begin to see the link between education, career options, and personal success. Participants leave WOW empowered to take charge of their unique education and career paths. 

The Wonder of Work Summer Camp is modeled after the program of the same name offered by Career Trek during the regular school year.  The camps run full days, Monday to Friday, for a week at a time, providing campers with the opportunity to explore up to 4 careers per day. 

**Additional dates may be added. Watch this page, and Career Trek’s social media for updates.
