SCL Summer Program at the Playground

Looking for some great summer fun? Head on over to the SCL playground and check out our summertime Playground program.  South Cooking Lake Trail Days

This summer we’ll have a full-time recreational leader hanging out at the playground. There’ll be games, sports, crafts and more. Everyone is welcome to come!

The program will be running Monday to Friday, from July 2nd to August 27th, 9:30 – 5:30.

Is there a fee?

Nope! This program is completely free.

Is there is an age limit?

Children of all ages are welcome.

The recreational leader and the community league are not providing supervision and are not responsible for your child/children while they are using the playground or participating in activities. Parents/guardians are responsible for their child/children at all times.

What kind of activities will there be?

All kinds – the recreational leader will have an arsenal of sports, crafts & games for children of all ages. If there is a game or activity that you’d like to see, just let the recreational leader know.

What happens if it rains?

We’ll open up the hall and will run some games and crafts. Programming will be cancelled if there is severe weather.

Why is there no summer camp, as there has been in past years?

The majority of the funds we used to run the summer camp were received through grants. This year we did not receive those grants. We received only enough funding for one individual.
