Free Children’s Summer Program
Free Children’s Summer Program or PlayEscapes is an inclusive summer program for ages 5 to 12, which offers leader-facilitated play opportunities to help develop and foster life skills, creativity, imagination, and positive self-image while promoting a physically active lifestyle. Self-directed play is also encouraged to explore and discover with the safety of supervision.
The 2025 edition of the program will run from July 7 to August 15, Monday to Friday (except the week of August 5-8, which runs Tuesday to Friday). Some locations run 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and others from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. (please check the table below). The program will be offered in one-week session blocks; participants will be eligible to sign up for a maximum of two one-week blocks and be placed on a waitlist for more.
Children must be 5 years old by the first day of the program. We welcome children and youth of all abilities. Due to the number of participants, we ask that the individuals requiring one-on-one support/assistance please bring a support person/attendant.
