Challenge and Conquest Youth Programs

Clear Water Academy is proud to host the Challenge and Conquest youth programs for students in Grades 4 to 8. This independent parent-led program is organized by ECYD (Encounters, Convictions, and Your Decisions), a youth organization run by Regnum Christi. Extracurricular activities offered through the Conquest and Challenge after-school program support the integral formation of girls and boys. Students in Grades 9 to 12 have the opportunity to be youth club leaders.

Students who are registered for the Challenge and Conquest clubs meet every Friday after school for engaging and formational youth activities. For more information on joining, please contact Fr. Michael Picard, ECYD Chaplain.

These enriching after-school programs for students would not be possible without the generous support of parent volunteers and leaders. Please consider sharing your time and talent and making a difference for students by becoming a volunteer for the Conquest and Challenge programs. Sign Up Here!

ECYD NEWS!

Clear Water Academy students in Grades 5-8 displayed their athletic abilities and represented Calgary at the 3rd Annual ECYD National Tournament hosted by Sacred Heart Apostolic School in Indiana (USA) this weekend. Guided by Fr. Michael Picard, LC, the students participated in a variety of sports such as floor hockey, basketball, and soccer, and enjoyed skiing as well. Apart from the competition, the students also explored the beautiful city of Chicago, went sightseeing, and had a taste of a true Chicago-style meal. The trip also provided opportunities for the students to have Adoration and Mass along with their friends in Christ from other ECYD locations. This was truly an unforgettable experience for our students, creating lasting memories.
