Free Programs for Children & Youth

PlayEscapes

PlayEscapes is an inclusive summer program offered by the City of Regina which offers leader-facilitated play opportunities to help develop and foster life skills, creativity, imagination, positive self-image and promote a physically active lifestyle. Self-directed play is the key to the PlayEscapes program where children engage in play they select by themselves and are encouraged to explore and discover.

The program will be offered in two-week session blocks, Monday to Friday from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., beginning July 12 and ending August 20, 2021. There will be no program Monday, August 2. Lunches will be available at select locations and will be provided by Regina Education and Action on Child Hunger (REACH) and Chili for Children.

PlayEscapes is for all children entering Kindergarten (must be 5 years old by December 31, 2021) through Grade 7. PlayEscapes welcomes 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.

To comply with public health requirements and ensure safety for all participants, their families, and City staff, modifications have been made to the program, including:

• enhanced cleaning and sanitizing measures;
• introduction of games and activities that incorporate social distancing protocols and minimize contact between participants and with staff;
• maximum of 8 participants per site; and
• designated zones for drop-off and pick-up.
