About Kids Being Kids
Kids Being Kids (KBK) is a free, community-based summer program for children ages 6–12 living in SSMHC family housing communities. By bringing programming directly into our neighbourhoods, KBK creates safe, supportive spaces for kids to play, explore, and grow close to home.
Program Details
Eligible communities include Second Line W., Chapple Ave., Hamilton Heights (Campbell, Crawford, Brien, Smale Aves, Cunningham Rd.), Boston Ave., Shannon Rd./Capp Ave., and Adrian Dr.
The program runs July to August, Monday–Thursday, 9 a.m.–12 p.m. and 1–4 p.m., and Fridays, 9 a.m.–12 p.m. Children return home for lunch from 12–1 p.m., and families are welcome to drop in during program hours. Note: A parent or guardian must be at home and available while children participate.
Activities include outdoor play, sports, arts and crafts, group games, skill-building, community projects, local adventures, WEE Day events, and more.

Every Breakfast Counts
KBK also supports Every Breakfast Counts, a partnership between the City of Sault Ste. Marie, DSSMSSAB, Algoma Family Services, and the United Way, which provides nutritious breakfasts to children throughout the summer. Since 2018, KBK has helped deliver these meals, ensuring kids start each day ready to learn and grow.
