Drop-in Camps
If finding fun summer activities close to home, for your 5-12-year-old child, is a priority, check out our FREE drop-in camps around Town. We are bringing back parent-free, child-led outdoor activities with our Summer Drop-in Camps. We hire staff that bring supervised, unstructured play to various locations around town. Parents can be fearful of allowing their children to go play unsupervised; we want to alleviate that concern by having staff on-site to supervise. Staff show up with a bunch of equipment and the children lead the way!
