Offered: fall, winter, spring, summer Subsidies
The Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management recognizes that fees can pose a barrier when engaging children and youth in programming. Thanks to fund raising efforts, and generous donors, various subsidy opportunities are available to offer assistance.
A special thank you to the Barkwell family! A portion of this fund is provided by the late Edward James (Ted) Barkwell, whose lifelong passion for sport lives on. The Ted Barkwell Memorial Fund allows underprivileged children to meet new friends and learn new skills in a university setting.
Applicants are required to pay 25% of program fees as contribution towards their experience. The remaining fees will be covered by the Faculty.

Offered: summer Support leaders
Having unique needs is not unique. We understand that everyone has preferences, needs and requires some form of accommodation in order to be most successful.
Prior to their arrival to the program, families are provided the opportunity to identify and share any special needs that are important to their child’s success while attending our programming.
Learn more about attending our programs with special needs here.
Support leaders are available to support campers in their experience. Spaces are limited and can be booked through our pre-order form / online registration system and are allocated on a first come first served basis. If you think your child would benefit from an inclusion support leader please reach out to us prior to registering for a program at mini.u@umanitoba.ca to discuss availability of our support team.
