About
Kids Being Kids is a summer recreation program where activities and programming take place in the six family housing communities owned by the Sault Ste. Marie Housing Corporation. These housing communities include:
- Second Line West
- Chapple/Albion
- Hamilton Heights area
- Boston Avenue
- Shannon/Capp
- Adrian Drive
Kids Being Kids runs five days a week during July and August. The activities are directed at children aged 6-12 years old, but if younger children want to participate they must be accompanied by an adult. Onsite activities can include outdoor sports, small group games, arts & crafts, sing songs, and storytelling. Some offsite activities include swimming, gymnastics, as well as various local tours and field trips. We also offer educational components to the program including a gardening program and various presentations by community agencies.
