Attend PlayEscapes

PlayEscapes is a FREE come and go summer drop-in program offered by the City of Regina for children entering Kindergarten (must be 5 years old by December 31^st, 2010) through Grade 7. The program offers leader-facilitated play opportunities that develop and foster life skills, creativity, imagination, positive self-image and promote a physically active lifestyle. The program runs Monday through Friday, July 5^th to August 13^th (no program August 2^nd), from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. .

Self-directed play is the key to the PlayEscapes program. Children engage in play they select by themselves, and are encouraged to explore and discover activities they enjoy most. Through self-directed play, children become more active and creative in the play environment while gaining a sense of freedom and choice.

Some sites will be offering a lunch program. Please contact REACH at 347-3224 to find out which site is closest to you.
