Grande Prairie getting ready for 5th annual GirlZone

Sep 15, 2026 | 10:51 AM

Grande Prairie’s activity-based day for young girls returns next month.

The fifth annual GirlZone aims to encourage girls aged 10-15 to try out new skills and recreational activities with their friends.

Nine activities will be available this year:

  • Self-defense with SheRolls Jiu-Jitsu.
  • Gymnastics with Grande Prairie Gymnastics.
  • Crafts with the Centre for Creative Arts.
  • Acting, singing, and dancing with Grande Prairie Children’s Theatre.
  • Cooking and nutrition with Revival Nutrition and Training.
  • Yoga with Rooted Heart Yoga and Art Studio.
  • At-home fitness with Eastlink Centre fitness instructors.
  • Zumba with Eastlink Centre fitness instructors.
  • Soccer with City of Grande Prairie programmers.
  • Pickleball with City of Grande Prairie programmers.

“Creating opportunities for girls to stay involved in recreation as they grow is extremely important,” said City of Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton. “GirlZone gives them a space to explore their interests, find activities they enjoy, and build a sense of belonging that can encourage them to stay involved long after the day is over.”

GirlZone is happening October 3.
