PlayEscapes Summer Drop In Program

The school year is coming to a close and your little scholar can’t wait for his or her summer freedom. If your child is like most, that summer freedom buzz lasts for a few weeks at best before they start moaning “I’m bored! There’s nothing to do!” Well, good news: the City of Regina is offering a boredom buster summer drop in program called PlayEscapes.
 

PlayEscapes is a FREE come and go program for children entering Kindergarten (must be 5 years old by December 31, 2010) through Grade 7. The program runs Monday through Friday, July 5 to August 13 (no program August 2), from 9:30 am to 12:00 noon and 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
 

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. PlayEscapes welcomes children and youth with disabilities. Participants who may need assistance during the program are required to bring an attendant.
