Get Ready to Play!

Play Days engage kids in a variety of recreational activities that provide all-important physical activity, social development, and connection with their peers. Opportunities include swimming, martial arts, soccer, basketball, yoga, art, music, and more.

Offered throughout the school year during breaks and holidays, single- and multi-day options include: Fall into Fun Play Days, Holiday Plays Days, March Madness Play Days, Spring Fling Play Days, and more. Children are assembled into small groups by age, with a low counselor-to-participant ratio, to ensure a safe, supportive, and fun environment.
